I just got my Axim X5 Friday and so far I love it. I found this site, and saw the post for the Windows XP skin for PPX.
Well I read all the hype, and when I saw that XP skin, I thought "Yeah baby! That's for me!". So I spent the bucks to get the latest version and installed the XP skin. After quite a bit of finagling I actually had it working.
Personally, I didn't see what the big deal was. I thought it was cumbersome to use, and customizing it was a bigger pain than I personally wanted to get into. I deleted it after just a few hours when I noticed that my Ax was running a lot slower than it had been.
Now, that might be just the way I have my Ax configured:
Axim X5 400mhz
256 mb CF card
Other stuff not necessarily related to performance...
I am getting a 256 mb SD card this week, so p'raps I'll try it again. So far, however, I'm pretty satisfied with the normal setup. I would like to learn how to optimize memory usage so my Ax runs at its best, so if you have other ideas, thanks for sharing them.

Running skins of the SD card will slow it down. The SD cards arn't had fast compared with a CF card or install the skins in main memory which soups up the space. But you can try it out the see the difference in speed. I don't notice a speed decrease when using the last (registered) beta.
Peace,
Henk
