I would go for KDE and Gnome as the main choices. Then XFCE and Fluxbox for the lighter WM options. Those are the most widely used for a reason ;) Xpde - why would we want to look like an inferior OS? Just my view of course ;) Yes, it looks neat - but if people want XP, then they can dual boot with XP. You can customise KDE to resemble XP if you really must - to a degree anyway. KDE is miles neater than XP in my view - I am perhaps used to KDE so my view is slanted. XP is a confusing mess to me! I cannot use it or find anything on it - luckily I only ever see XP on repair jobs for other people.
