That's all fine and good, but why would I want Windows to look like Mac OSX?

Good question. Why? Because Mac OSX's visual appearence is more attractive, smooth, sleek, and overall interesting to look at. Why should you stick with the default Windows XP look when you can have something much better? To see what I mean, here is a link to an image of my own desktop, fully skinned in OSX Tiger fassion: My Desktop, skinned. Nice, isn't it?

Now, where is the make XP look like GNOME guide ^^  I'd love to feel comfortable when I'm working in XP ya know :P

http://www.cygwin.com/

I have never tried it, but I think it does what your looking for.

I've tried it, and it's not what I'm looking for. I just want the look to be like GNOME, if I wanted GNOME to run in XP why am I running Linux to start with? Besides, that GNOME is outdated

One comment, buy a mac instead of making your pc look like one.
Fast. Reliable. Spyware free. :D

But it does look neat, I can't say it doesnt.
