After reading the below article at Wired on people reskinning their Windows XP boxes to look like Mac OS X, my first reaction was "Operating System Transvestites!!"

No, really....

XP Users Cop a Feel of OS X

Having a true aqua machine and a faux-aqua next to each other would be too confusing. Otherwise the idea is tempting.

My machine at work has a very OS X theme to it. Colored buttons, ruled title bar (and task bar), animated wait indicators, the whole boat. I have to use XP at work but that doesn't mean I have to keep looking at ugliness! :-)

JOhn.

Because the Mac is just sexier...didn't you once tell me, "So user-friendly it's user-boinkable...with certain aftermarket adjustments"?

Weird association. I read this comment while the computer was playing Rush-A Passage to Bangkok. My mind segues to Murray Head/Chess soundtrack-One Night in Bangkok and I'm suddenly seeing a Buddhist temple with an all-porn cyber-cafe and rentable hostesses in the basement.

Ask patgund or jfoxdavis, I'm not normal.
