No, I didn’t actually get a Mac, or even install leopard. I just made my laptop’s desktop look like MacOS by installing RocketDock and Yahoo! Widgets, plus some shnazzy MacOS wallpaper.
The end result really does make it look like a Mac.
The RocketDock looks exactly like the carousel on the mac and acts exactly like it too:
The Yahoo! Widgets almost perfectly emulates the Widgets and Dashboard feature of MacOS. I can download and place Widgets on my desktop and with just a press of a button an alternate desktop is revealed where I can place cool stuff like newsreaders, music players, and even a hula girl:
Ah fun.

Yeah, I already gots the Flurry screen saver. It’s very calm and soothing, but I generally don’t use screensavers anyways.
Poser, indeed. Earlier I was Vista-ing my XP machine, which didn’t leave me with as nice a feeling as Mac-ing out.
I don’t feel any more trendy than before, but I don’t think I can go back to the regular ol’ windows menu bar now. The carousal is far too much fun, and it doesn’t seem to draw too much processing power or memory to run.
Now, these widgets, they are taking up a bit, so I might get rid of those, but we’ll see.
