OSXP

I hate Microsoft! This "is my in your face Bill, OS" It's Win XP, but it looks, acts, smell, sounds, and tastes like OSX. I even have the cool Dock feature. YzDock

And the shadow feature YzShadow.

I got stickies and even found a mod for iTunes to have the gel butts at the top-left instead of XP butts. good times.

I even downloaded all of the icons and sounds ever associated with apple. I got a program that opens .dll files and allows you to permanently change icons and apply to all. hells yes.

Pretty cool, but on my next re-install I am switching to Linux on my home computer. I am sick of all the worms and viruses that come out every 2 minutes. I think I have about 100 of them right now, but the computer has been "running" for about 6 months now without a firewall nor a virus detection software! :lol: And it is connected and running 24/7 to the net. Everyone I talk to can't believe it.

that is the windows blinds software.... really freakin cool, if you like all of your memory to be used up. also, i have found than using those skins causes the cursor in photoshop to screw up, resulting in a restart of Adobe.

What does this button d.... CRAP!

I always like the virus that turns off you fan and the temperature setting to auto switch your computer when it gets to hot... thus your computer turns off forever, with a puff of smoke, maybe even a fire. the hole in windows are infact one determining fact to switch OS's. I am more interested in Linux, maybe since i do not know anything about it.

This program is supposed to be similar to Quicksilver, I've not tried it but it might be a nice addition for you Windows users.

And here I though most Mac users were trying to keep the dock as out of the way as possible. :/

please spare us your poor attempts at an emulation and wasting space and bandwidth with a tiny cropped XP screenshot.

thanks,
