Very clever. When I first started using Linux, I always wondered why in the world anyone would use the "Redmond" skin for the desktop.

Of course, it's for subterfuge. :)



perhaps somebody should release a modern browser that is visually identical to IE6.


That's such a good idea with both the icon and a browser that looks like ie6 but isn't. Old UI over a new back end. Wonderful! I believe I remember a time when you could skin Internet explorer however you like. Is that still possible? If so, would it be realistic to believe someone can create an IE6 skin for IE9 or 10?

I haven't touched Windows in years and years so forgive me if that sounded naive. In fact, I have a dual boot loop with Win7 and Linux and I only booted into Windows once to download the Linux distro, haha.
