Better yet, just download/install/configure/customize any one of the thousands of desktop styles, widgets, docks, and all those other shiny toys available for Windows.

Then it'll really look like OSX!

Thats what this is mostly, it just streamlines the installation of all the Mac VS's out there for Windows plus lots of other stuff. Personally if you want your Windows box to look like a Mac then why not just buy one?

Sure, and there's a way to get your Ford Taurus to look like a Porsche. But, it's still a Ford Taurus.

People have actually gotten OS-X installed on a windows box. And I'm not talking about pear-pc either. I'm talking about the actual OS. Apple's switch from powerpc to intel has let the mac os x be more flexible on various system configs other than the proprietary macs.

My work machine is a PC, but I have also have a PowerBook G4.

Installing Fly a Kite on my PC keeps me more sane.

Rhys, I'd love to get a Mac, but unfortunately I can't afford one yet. I'm a student and I depend on my parent's, who don't have much money neither. So this OS-X emulation is great for people like me, who loves Mac's but can't afford one.

I wish Apple released their OS-X for PC machines. Time will tell.
