That reminds me of a Microsoft situation.

This happened a year or so ago: Microsoft conducted a usability test where they put a different skin on Windows Vista service pack 2 and told the users that it wasn't Vista.

The users said that they preferred the Vista in sheep's clothing.

Anyone have a link?

They didn't change Vista at all for it, though.
