From practice, the following notes:

Skinning procedures are generic HTML/PHP/CSS/JavaScript and no big deal. JQuery is now default.

You need to add page.tpl.php from the starterkit and edit that along with the chosen layout css if you want to make changes outside the block administration.
For a different front page skin, create and edit page-front.tpl.php and create and link to a front-page css loaded after the other scripts.
If you want to make any sort of new region on a page, the code in the Zen-based skin has to be refactored into tables, as IE7 loses the plot with the negative margins in the div-only version.
The best way to patch modules is with Linux, then transfer them to Windows machines if required. For example:
- OG Forums for security
- Webform Reports for added functionality
