you can't run xp on a Mac?

Well... for me, it makes it pretty stinkin' obvious that I'm not doing any work when a browser window goes full screen with a Windows XP look. I can get away with reading text on a screen all day long, but somehow I think it would be quite obvious I'm doing something I probably shouldn't be if this site makes my computer look like it's on XP.

I created something similar back in the Win98 days. Never thought to use it to shirk work though. Unfortunately, with a domain like that, it'll likely get blocked soon.
