Presenting . . . another way of running Windows on Mac OS X ... with Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection.
(Accessing my user account on the KJC server via MSRDC ... effectively two desktops in one screengrab.)

My latest desktop on Mac OS X 10.4.7 . . .

Featuring a Finder window, custom icons, and my favourite version of the default Aqua Blue wallpaper.

You're using a Vista-inspired wallpaper on your PowerBook? Something is very, very wrong here.

Wow Ant, you're actually using/displaying something to do with Windows? Somebody feel his forehead, he must be burning up, with a high temperature!

Someone dial 999 (or 911!)

I am correct in saying you are normally anti-Windows, right?

It is either Kyle Carlson or Lane Carlson, Abercrombie and Fitch's models. I have no idea which one he is.
