i had this genius idea that would be hilarious. take a laptop pimp it out with compiz and take it to an apple store and tell everyone it was a beta of os11 and film them and then tell them it's ubuntu and see if they notice

It's like the Mojave experiment, but with a decent OS.

I believe a PC ezine did this with Ubuntu. As I recall, they told passers-by that it was the new Vista. People were impressed... ;)

If you don't use a Macbook they won't believe you since it's obviously not Apple.
