Background on why I started this poll, quoting myself from a mozillazine.org thread:

Bug# 303806 [Firefox] - Wallpaper patch for better appearance on Windows XP / Luna [Win]

  • It is hideous on XP Classic, Windows 2000 and Win 98.
  • Javascript console was forgotten to be patched
  • as well as a bug with the sanitize settings window (See Bug# 303806 Comment# 83)
  • Most business/schools still use Windows 2000 and even a lot of businesses use XP with classic menus. The company I work for runs XP with classic menus and we have roughly 110,000 computers worldwide. Granted all of them don't use Firefox but the majority of our U.S. officies do.

IE is always brought up because we want somewhat consistent UI. screw it and do it how we want and what looks best for us...not what IE has already has set in place.

M$ can't/couldnt even keep all menu toolbars same size and all highlight boxes same size throughout all of there programs so why should be try to be consistent with one of those programs be it IE or notepad when they are all differerent anyways.

I've also blogged about this here to try and get this out there.

Now the reason I created this poll is to find out based on Neowin's member what OS you guys use (windows only) and which theme you use...be it classic or non-classic (ie. Luna or a variant).

Please post like this

1) Windows OS

2) Windows Classic or a Luna/non-classic theme

Thanks for starting this supernova, I got a week off for speaking out...but it had to be done. They just lost a tester for a week since I can't post...and may just quit testing altogether.

I agree...I can't wait till the stuff 'hits the fan' in the morning or later tonight.

WinXP/Luna

1. Windows XP Home

2. Non-Classic (Luna Element 4 first time not using Luna for XP, seems funky now)

sorry for what happened Littlemutt, but please don't quit altogether, I've seen some of the stuff you have done by following the nighly threads.. Don't let a few ruin your fine work for us all.

sorry to hear that littlemutt. ya, the crap will hit the ceiling tomororw. Like i stated in my post on mozillazine, most users on mozillazine and neowin are powerusers with good computers and XP and since they are powerusers they tend to change themes so really the majority of the 2000/Classic users don't have a nightly with the half-ass hack yet.

I would like to see some before after shots too. I didn't really see a huge difference myself. A little extra padding and some shadows being left off. Seems like a lot of fuss over seemingly small things. Please don't take that as me not agreeing. I don't like the extra padding myself. But I still think a side by side shot of the difference will help peeps.

    • Wake me up when this comes to PC. Until then... zzzzzzzz....
    • I was expecting the end of the world to happen before this game or elder scroll 6 to come out.
    • OpenAI and Broadcom unveil Jalapeño, a new AI chip built for LLM inference by Pradeep Viswanathan Image by OpenAI Thanks to the exponential growth of ChatGPT and other LLM-based applications, NVIDIA has grown from a $200 billion company into the first public company to reach a $5 trillion market cap. Even though hyperscalers such as Google and Amazon have their own mature AI accelerators, NVIDIA still dominates the AI infrastructure market with multiple generations of GPUs. Microsoft, OpenAI, and Meta remain among NVIDIA’s largest customers, while Google and Amazon continue to be significant NVIDIA customers as they serve AI workloads for customers on their cloud platforms. Today, OpenAI and Broadcom announced Jalapeño, OpenAI’s first custom “Intelligence Processor” designed specifically for large language model inference. The new chip is the first product from a multi-generation compute platform being developed by OpenAI. OpenAI highlighted that Jalapeño was built from the ground up for current and future LLM workloads, rather than being a general-purpose accelerator adapted for AI. Despite heavy competition from Gemini, Claude, Copilot, and others, ChatGPT remains the most used AI platform in the world. OpenAI mentioned that it leveraged its knowledge of how its models and products run at scale, including ChatGPT, Codex, the API, and future agentic AI systems, to design this new chipset. Its chip architecture reduces data movement while balancing compute, memory, and networking resources. Jalapeño will be deployed in production systems starting in late 2026; however, engineering samples are already running machine learning workloads in OpenAI’s labs at production target frequency and power. According to its internal testing, OpenAI claims this chip can deliver “substantially better” performance per watt, and a detailed technical report is expected in the coming months. While OpenAI designed the chip, Broadcom handled silicon implementation and networking technologies, including Tomahawk networking silicon, and Celestica is assisting with board, rack, and system-level integration. OpenAI pointed out that Jalapeño went from initial design to manufacturing tape-out in just nine months, which it claims is the fastest ASIC development cycle achieved for a high-performance advanced semiconductor. The company attributed the speed of development to its own LLMs, which were used during the chip design and optimization process. Broadcom CEO Hock Tan stated that the company's plan is to deploy the Jalapeño platform at a gigawatt scale with Microsoft and other partners starting in 2026. With Jalapeño, OpenAI joins Google, Microsoft, and Amazon to become a full-stack AI player. The company already develops models and products, and is now moving deeper into infrastructure, including chips, kernels, networking, scheduling, and deployment systems.
    • I'm aware. That information should have been included in the article, making it more complete and information.
