What about Windows users who make their desktop look like a Mac?
They got a club with 9000 members. They call them "Mac voyuers". I don't get it. Windows worshippers please explain.

Here's the article from Wired

XP Users Cop a Feel of OS X

Look at the first desktop screenshot at left. It looks like a Mac OS X machine, right?

Wrong. It's a Windows XP box made up to look like a Mac.


Look closely, and you'll see that its creator has done a very good job; although the machine is running Windows XP, the interface is almost indistinguishable from an OS X machine.

1. I've got one of those dock programs...
It's nice, I can access all the icons that I'd normally have on my desktop even with maximized programs.

2. Desktop

Doesn't everybody get tired of the same old desktop every day?
I know I do, I change my desktop about every two weeks.

Sometimes I get tired of XP, so I'm using (Codename) Longhorn
4074 today.
