Linux XP 2007 sounds very good. I've never used it or seen pictures, but I read the following article:
Linux.com | Linux XP Desktop: A Windows face on an old Linux base
And it sounds very good. Sorry I can't be of much help.

The only important bit of it all:

Conclusion

Unfortunately, in its current state, LXP Desktop 2006 Service Release 2 has too many rough edges for me to consider it as my primary desktop. It has an old base, isn't very stable, and apart from the eye-candy has no major add-on feature. Unlike Xandros and Linspire, even after the license fee, there's no CrossOver Office to run Windows applications under Linux.

Unless you really like the XP look and can make do with the prepackaged software, you can skip this version. But keep an eye out for the next version, as the roadmap promises a data migration tool, remote desktop management from an Active Directory server, and other features.

Yes, I would never use it as primary OS, but maybe Dual Boot it...
