Try to find a fast car out there that's painted primer color. It accomplishes something, it's just not something functional. It may attract users who are sick of looking at the same old boring Windows stuff for a decade though.

It's one of the things that is going to cause me to keep Linux installed for a few more weeks this time around. Usually I last about one week and then I wait several years.
