On Monday I tried to install Mac OSX onto my computer. A Dell Dimension 3100, needless to say it didn’t work out, so still wanting the sleek look of Mac I had a look around at what programs where available!
There are countless Dock programs and skinning programs for Windows XP. Stardock and Windows Blinds are just two examples, however installing all these programs individually can be a pain [aswell as using up lots of ram] and you really don’t get the whole Mac effect. Ten minutes of Google later I found exactly what I was looking for!
FlyakiteOSX styles your XP machine to look exactly like it’s running Mac OSX. Infact, you could probably get away with lying to people and saying your running OSX. Best of all it’s free!
The installer creats a Restore Point for you incase you no longer want your computer looking like a Mac but also install’s the Mac OSX skin, a dockbar and just overall gives you the look and feel of a Mac!
Click image for full size view!
The dock bar even replaces the taskbar and makes it look like the real deal!

The desktop gets totally changed with the normal windows taskbar being moved to the top and skinned!

Even the login window as you can see above is changed!
Overall this is one of the best programs I have seen in a while, no problem with install, computer running fast, [Have 1gig ram] and overall just looks brilliant!
If you want the transformation head over to FlyakiteOSX.com
Would you not just get a Mac?? eh
Don’t those skinning aps chew up a geansai load of RAM??
That would cost money!
This one doesn’t use up much ram at all! it’s not even noticeable! Rkdock [the dock bar] uses the most and even at that its a measly 4k. svchost.exe uses up just as much!
Oh cool.!
i have used this software for aprox 3 months(till i got bored of the amazing looks lol)…
its damn swift and easy on the ram.. when i used it on my comp..it used to be 128 MB ram pentium 3 650 MHz…
and it worked amazing!
so u can believe how good this soft is!
its been out since a long time, u SHOULD definately try it iif u havent yet!!
sayonara!
Why on earth would you want your computer to look like a Mac? Unless you’re printing out your desktop, taking it with you and showing it off, there is no point! I’d rather die than have to use something similar to or reflecting OSX.
Is it possible to get rid of because if i dont like it i want to be able to get rid of it
