Try the Trillian iChat theme (http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/12808531/)?

I'm guess Trillian or Miranda for iChat.

Picasa for iPhoto.

No idea what to use for Spaces, although if you use Linus there's programs. :D

That do virtual desktops on Windows.

Wait, that's a computer running Windows XP?? If so, WOW! At first I thought it was just another "make tiger look like leopard" threads and I thought, eh, doesn't really look much more like leopard than any other attempts, but if it's XP then I'm amazed and confused as to how you did it! Good job.

That is incredibly awesome. I don't know much about theming XP, but one possible addition would be distinct shadows for the windows.

hehe that's kind of funny... do the contents of the top menu bar change like the original one on OS X? I'd like to know how to do that, it saves some screen space :)

I'm using a theme from www.crystalxp.net that makes XP look a bit more modern and adds a Dock. it's cool but not a OS X clone :)

haha when i read the heading i was like wtf. that is looking nice, would be good if you could get a startbar somehow. there needs to be a program similar to "flyakite" except for mac.

I've also themed my PC to look like Leopard until I can get my hands on a real Mac. I used a program called Dexpot for Spaces. I used RocketDock with a Leopard theme and some special reflective icons. I used NVIDIA nView to get the taskbar transparency. And, of course, I used Flyakite OSX for everything else. Surprisingly, all of these running programs don't significantly slow down my PC. Here's a couple screenshots:

I was going to try to do this, but i figured I'll just wait a few months until I get the real deal. Good job though! I was too afraid to do anything that drastic since I share the computer with family. I DO have rocketdock though and I LOVE it. I just can't wait to get a fully functioning dock with OS X.
