Can I also replace this windows XP via JavaScript with OsX, or
deinstall MSIE and open the page in Firefox?

There are things that are out of reach of CSS, CSS can only style what
is _inside_ the current document. The Icon is not inside the current
document, but only appears because the user agent supports it. The
same way you cannot access the style sheet href via CSS you cannot
access the favicon href. You also cannot style the page title or the
status bar.

Do not fall into the trap that everything you see is yours to change,
it is not.
God, I hate the inventor of coloured scrollbars...
