Mac look on my PC

Is there some kind of visual style or program I could DL to make me computer visually look like a Mac, effects and all? I basically just want the looks and the support of some form of widgets.

Look into Window Blinds and Object Dock Plus. Google; "Window Customization" you should come across a database site which has 1000's of skins, widgets and other stuff for windoes.

I did it once with Window Blinds.

Its effort though, and kills your RAM.

It may look like a mac, but it won't act like one

So you're going to buy one because you want the look? Actually, look into the program Litestep. If anything, that'll have what you want.

I have this thing called Aquadock. It's supposed to be like the Mac scrolling menu at the bottom of the screen, then just hide your taskbar.

I have both. Macs are easier to use because they make sense, not because they're for idiots. Just because something is designed poorly doesn't make it better.

Even though my pc is quite a bit faster than my laptop, programs that I use on both run faster on the mac.

I have both as well, and I really don't see much difference. It's still the same principal of windows and folders and all that crap.

WindowBlinds latest version Im running uses only 3 MB of ram.

Although for mac menu thing, you need object dock too. So it'll probably take like 10-20 MB altogether.
