For those who Compute On The Wild Side...
There exists a GUI called FlyAKite located, reasonably, at:
http://www.flyakiteosx.com/
It, er, transforms a Windows XP system to resemble a Mac. Bootup screens, desktop, icons, sounds, the works. Worth considering if you find the Windows GUI tedious.
Points:
(1) It is free... why else would I post it?
(2) Afore installing create a System Restore Point. The product claims to remove itself painlessly but we all know what that means.
(3) It sucks memory like there is no tomorrow.
(4) The utility of the Dock thingie escapes me. However, it was entertaining before I disabled it.
