Dress Windows Live Messenger in Apple clothes

Count this as the newest entry in the mind-boggling "I have a PC but I want to make it look like a Mac" trend. Apple Live Messenger is a skin for Windows Live Messenger that will magically transform your Messenger windows into an Apple look-alike. The new Messenger interface comes complete with Apple logo, Aqua Blue background, and much more Apple-y goodness.
Proof that we are all Apple fanboys in our core (pun definitely intended), the Apple Live Messenger skin is currently the third most popular skin on the Messenger Plus! Live website, with over 200,000 downloads.
Installing the skin requires Windows Live Messenger and Messenger Plus! Live, both free downloads. In case you're not familiar, Messenger Plus! Live is a popular add-on for Windows Live Messenger that adds a number of features and extras to the software.

And people who try to make their Windows be a look-alike OS X aren't doing themselves a favor. Just get the real thing, or don't use the skin. I mean it's not like the skins going to really change how easier the OS will be. It's just really unnecessary eye candy.
Oh, and does anybody know how to fix this? The download file for skins on that site is a .plsk file, but Windows won't recognize it. So does anybody know how to fix this? Thanks.

Oh, so you're one of those Mac salesmen trolls on the internet.
Good luck with getting more people to move on. And I am using a Mac btw. I'm just more sensible than most users.
