I was just looking into the wide range of software for making windows look like the mac desktop, and ports of mac apps to windows. If anyone knows of any of these, could you tell a little about them and posts links to them? Or if you have any other cool apps for windows.
I'll start, check out www.aquaxp.com for news about mac themes for windows.

No, that's just finally realizing that Windows is the MacOS
I looked into doing this as well but the problem is most all of it subtracts from your system resources so not really worthwile. The only one that I'd really want to add to mine would be Expose. That's actually a very handy feature.FB-DIMM are the real cause of global warming -

I guess I see the quickstart bar as my version of the dock in XP. However one neat feature of the OSX Dock is progress bars show up on the dock icon for a lot of apps. That would be handy when doing an encode or PS effect that takes awhile while working on something else to be able to see the progress of it at a glance. I've been thinking that it would be nice if perhaps the taskbar tab for programs in XP could fill from left to right with a translucent color to denote progress. If someone can find me something like that...

I haven't heard of something like that for the windows taskbar, but it may be out there. Have you ever tried linux? You might be really impressed by the power of the KDE (or Gnome) desktops. -

No, Linux doesn't have full versions of the latest Adobe software so it wouldn't do me any good.
Dunno which app you're referring to though. Quickstart bar? That's built in. The other feature is just sort of a wish.FB-DIMM are the real cause of global warming -

Oh... I know what the Quickstart bar is... Its kind of like the dock. Windows has been kind of frustrating for me... the other day explorer ended task at least 10 times when I was on. Post a screenshot if you want. -
I suggest getting about $2000 together and going to store.apple.com and your problem will be more then solved.

I just like the features of OS X, both the graphics and the structure, probably because its unix based. -

Konfabulator... I have to admit that I've never used it but the general opinion of the net is that it is a resource hog... and BIG resource hog (whether for MacOX or Windows).
As for iCal, remember we have Outlook in the Windows world which despite all the negative comments, is still a pretty darn good PIM. And relatively cheap. Any Pocket PC comes with a full version of Outlook. If don't like Outlook, there are lots of other enterprise quality PIM and groupware applications out there too.
The new Mozilla calendar project (Sunbird) will be iCal-ish and will use the iCal data format. It is still in early beta but "watch this space".

I suggest you have a look at something like this.
Don't forget to buy a one-button mouse, heh!I have seen people who have a Microsoft Mouse on a Mac... that's just wrong! Thanks for the link BTW... I'll take a look at that. It is resource hog, but when I'm just surfing the web or something its fine. If I really want to get away from resource hogs I'll just fire up fluxbox in linux, you don't get much more basic than that!

I do remember the sublime moment when (after mentioning how Apple like to pride themselves on their 'innovative' styling) I danced around shouting 'Woo! Go, Apple, go!'.
I am alone in my own little world... Probably. -

WindowBlinds is $20 and is pretty good. Used it forever ago to make win95 look like OS 7 i think. Drove my friends CRAZY!

RogThere are many ways to measure success. You just have to find your own yardstick.
