Microsoft designed their operating system so that both desktops must be the same.

Those users want to individualize their computing experience. Many workers spend 40+ hours a week in front of their monitors, so that small control can contribute to their quality of life, even though in a very small way.

Homework: brainstorm with your team about ways you can add an extra touch that says you care.
