I think you guys are going to get a kick out of this.

A cabal of Mac fanatics is working at Microsoft. Lenn Pryor, a director of Windows platform evangelism, is one of them.

Bored during an eight-hour conference call, Pryor transformed his Windows machine into a Mac -- in appearance at least. Using a variety of interface tweaks found on the Web, Pryor gave his Sony Vaio laptop a Mac OS X facelift.
Pryor downloaded ObjectDock, which clones the distinctive Mac OS X dock in Windows. Then he found a bunch of OS X-like icons, including iPhoto and iMovie icons to replace the My Pictures and My Movies folders.

"Throw in iTunes and Firefox and you have a whole new OS experience," he wrote on his blog, which describes in detail the Mac metamorphosis.
Now when Pryor goes to conferences, people think his Vaio is some kind of OS X PowerBook.

It's cute that he did it, and it's nice that he can, but it's kind of pathetic that the platform evangelist is skinning his laptop and telling everyone how great it is to use a different OS.
