I found this site today that lets you give your PC a Mac look and feel. It's pretty cool.

Not entirely sure why you'd want ot make your windows machine look like a mac... especially since that doesn't look very macish at all...

Who said I want a Mac? I don't; I love my PC and I love the way Windows functions. At work I use a Mac and PC equally, and I still prefer the way Windows functions. The difference is that I also like the *look* of Mac-- all the prettiness of OS X, all the functionality of XP.

this is what a guy said from the site in the comments. i believe this is a good reason depending on who you are. there's no reason good enough to me to install all that extra crap.

I didn't add all the things that you can add so mine doesn't look exactly like a mac but if you add all the things then it does.

First Why make a slow OS even slower? Second, i seen someone who has the mac os skin and there is something very messed up with the scroll bar and the docker, that takes away the mac feel Mad

Even if you do install all the additional apps you still won't get it to be like a mac. Similar at first glance perhaps; but not even close to the same. And like thuvs points out all your doing is making your computer slower, and windows is slow to begin with.

Hey, while we're at it, make your Linux distro to look like mac too! no need to consume extra resources either! just install the graphite theme, and do a shazam (look to bottom of pic for pseudo dock toolbar) Wink

and there you have it, mac pizzaz, linux fun! Razz
