Hi there,
I have a Windows PC and am looking to make it look like a MAC OS. I have used something called Flyakite and that has worked very well, but from further searching I have found something called a MAC emulation. Does anyone know exactly what an emulation will do? Will it make my system run and look like a MAC OS?

Thanks
 
Well i have to say this is voiding mac Eula so thus it is voiding our rules.

So we cant talk about anymore
 
just as a fyi,
apples eula section 2 part a said:
2. Permitted License Uses and Restrictions.
A. Mac OS X Server Software. This License allows you to install and use one copy of the Mac OS X Server software (the “Mac OS X Server Software”) on a
single Apple-labeled computer. You may also install and use other copies of Mac OS X Server Software on the same Apple-labeled computer, provided that
you acquire an individual and valid license from Apple for each of these other copies of Mac OS X Server Software. You agree not to install, use or run the
Apple Software on any non-Apple-labeled computer, or to enable others to do so. This License does not allow the Mac OS X Server Software to exist on more
than one computer at a time, and you may not make the Apple Software available over a network where it could be used by multiple computers at the same
time. Please note that the Apple Software is supported only on Apple-labeled systems that meet the specified system requirements as indicated on the
outside of the Mac OS X Server packaging. If you transfer software from one Apple-labeled computer to another Apple-labeled computer, please remember
that continued use of the original copy of the software may be prohibited once a copy has been transferred to another computer, unless you alread

So what? Flyakite, and other similar software don't violate Apples EULA. The OP isn't asking "How can I run Leopard on my PC" he's asking "How can I run something that LOOKS like Leopard on my PC." To my knowledge, there's not rule against look-alikes.

I agree, plus if that was the case we would need to ban and take down all the desktop pics of OS's which look like real OS's

Who are you to tell the OP what not to talk about? Why don't you leave the modding to those who have aquired the right :rolleyes:

@ the OP

Try WindowBlinds for the borders.. I have it on my Vista box and I have a theme called 'OS X Panther' that looks more like Leopard..

Get ObjectDock to emulate the MacDoc, then head over to wincustomize.com and search for 'Mac' in the ObjectDock section..

Aside from that, there are various other visual tweaks you can do to Vista to make the inner-boxes look like brushed metal, but I can't list them here or Brian might have a conniption :D

PM me if you want more info.

EDIT: Forgot to mention, you can get the above products at www.stardock.com
 
Thank you MacMillion - I have the WindowsBlinds and Stardock (neat little widgets) etc, and am very impressed with that material. Was just looking for something with the flashy graphics that Mac provides (secretly dreaming of a MacAir...)

Emulation (such as flyakite) doesn't break Apple's EULA.

That is not emulation software. Emulation is an older technology used for virtual machines. With the newer technology, virtualization (and since everything is x86 now) you don't see emulators anymore.

You are referring to a GUI theme in an OS, which you can not patent or sue someone for making something just like it. It is not the OS, but just a graphical interface that mocks it, the underlying technology is very different.

My bad...I didn't know the actual definition of "emulation", I just knew a general meaning.

Also, I really agree with whoever mentioned rocketdock. It's pretty awesome.
