Ee gads, why?!?

Install Boot Camp??

I think what you see is Vista actually running on a MAC.

I can't say anyone was dumb enough to make a theme like that, at least I sure hope not... Yuk!

The whole point of the mac os x is to get away from the horrible OS experience that is windows.

Yesterday, I wrote to Vogue: How can you make one of their models look like Miss Piggy with lipstick on? So far, they didn't reply.

True, but no one has to know that. It can be his little secret.

Besides, his question was how to make a computer look like an operating system.

there are limited theme functions in OSX, and you need to pay to get a little bit more. There is no way to mimic Vista's window frame, pathbar, start menu, task bar, etc.

OMG. Why on earth would you want to turn OS X into a lookalike of that inconsistent, incoherent and downright fugly collection of mis-appropriated GUI elements?

Put yer analyst on danger money NOW, baby!

I don't see what the big deal is. All he's looking for is an Aero theme. I don't think any exist for Leopard yet, and even if they did, do you have to use it? No, you don't. So get off your high horses and realize that not everyone is happy with Apple's GUI decisions.

I'd cover my MacBookPro with a load of badly coloured stickers to make it look like an HP, corrupt some important system files and force it to crash every few minutes and remove all the driver files so nothing worked properly. Then I'd sit back and watch. OK, so it's not really Vista, but it's pretty damn close.

Sorry, I can't help myself...

My husband has a computer with Vista. It is ugly, ugly and even uglier.
If you google Macintosh wallpapers you might find something you like better to look at. there is one out there that is my favorite.
It is the Blue screen of death. That is hilarious. It reminds me why I went to macs to begin with. Have fun hunting.

No way man, did you see the dock

Edit: Okay there IS Vista on the Mac in the image

 

[Osarkon]

Yeah.

Unless this is what the OP originally meant and got confused?

 

[brian9271]

Found this XP theme instead from the Neon Forums, here's what it has when you download it, you need like 3 softwares (ShapeShifter, Safaricon, Skin A Dock,) for like the Dock, Safari and so on...

OK, so cover it with badly colored stickers and run Boot Camp then.

Dude I don't want to run Boot Camp, I just want the theme
