Pretend Mac for XP

You may remember a while ago I pointed you in the direction of some software called Inspirat that would make your Windows XP computer look and sound a lot like a Vista PC, and very good it was too. Well, here’s another one, this time it's a set of themes to make Windows XP look just like Mac OS X. It’s called Flyakite OSX 3.5 and it really does, though behind the scenes good old Windows is still calling the shots. It’s freeware, or course, and the download is a chunky 30Mb but it installs smoothly and once it is up and running there are plenty of nice little Mac features to play with, including a docking bar, and it will even install put an iTunes icon on it for you. It’s well housetrained too, and the first thing it does is set a Restore Point, so it’s easy to get back to the comfort of Microsftland if you don’t find the Mac-like experience to your liking.
