technically speaking everyone runs a windows shell (the graphically interface you are using now). However you can use different ones to make it look pretty if you wish. I use to have great fun changing people's shells to calc.exe (Windows Calculator).

Ive user quite a few, they do tend to slow processing down a bit but some are so much nicer to use. Used to have one just with the backround wallpaper, and hot spots on the screen for different menu's. Very pretty

there just skins, or enhancements. the shell is the core user interface (gui) for windows is called explorer.exe

replacing the shell would involve using somehting like litestep & such, been a while since I did this myself though...

Things like WindowBlinds are just addons to re-skin the existing shell to look pretty and gay

just use windows classic theme & disable windows themes services in services.msc - runs alot more stable & smoother than with all the fancy-ass crap running...
