A Windows skinning tool with a funny name
From Micro Persuasion, a great blog btw, , i come across this nice skinning tool for Windows XP that turns Windows into OS X.
Even the website itself is totally like OS X, in asking for a login prompt (enter anything), with the Dashboard and stuffs...
However.. the name is Flyakite... According to Talkingcock's Singlish Dictionary, it stands for er.... u go ahead and read it.
This brings up the instance where geopolitical considerations in naming products is so important.
cheers
