Hi there,

You can do this with several skins or themes available. My personal recommendation is to go and get WindowBlinds from www.stardock.com. I use this program and it not only allows you to change the look of your computer, it also allows you to customize several other settings such as setting a specific window to stay on top, or to minimize windows to the system tray. Once you've got WindowBlinds, go to www.wincustomize.com to find additional themes.

I used to use the msstyles themes that you can find at ThemeXP, but recently, I've found that their site to be littered with ads and spyware.

Hope this helps.

there are several programs like window blinds posted above, that make windows look like other systems, these are just skins, the files systems are different, not to mention many other aspects. if you want your computer to run and perform like a mac, linux, or other system you will have to install the operating system.

true...nothing can emulate better than the mac os itself...but i want to use the wider functionality of PCs and i love the look of mac... and I am a poor student to buy both :-)
that's why i am relying on these skins....thanks anyway !
