macs are cool. They have a nice interface, no viruses, free updates, but they can'tplay most games!!!!!
This is a solution for gamers or those people who cant afford $1000+ for a new user interface.
If you don't want to go through the troublesome process and can risk a windows script error, go download
Flyakite or
WinOSX. But I personally like this version because you could also theme it to other themes other than mac: warning: if your computer runs slow, do not use this and thanks to Steve Grenier and his
Mac OSX Guide!---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------*Done!* yaaaaayayyayayaya (*people screaming for joy*)
*The preprepared packet is consisted of 4 split files (because it's 110 mb) so you have to unzip it and arrange it. Then start it*(it's not done yet, having difficulties)
the links are below:
*The guide to change it back is not done yet, I'm just too lazy*
This is a crazy, 7kb of pure text, okay, I worked hard, I'll give a second edition optimized for performance later.
Thx to Steve Grenier for his guide at:
http://stevegrenier.wincustomize.com/articles.aspx?aid=66871Go to his site after this for extras.
Credits: everybody who worked on all of these programs , the ones who made the skins, and the people who wrote all the guides. Thx ya'll
there are better variations and the full versions of these program are better but this is the best free version I have found.
Ido not use WinOSX or Flyakite because they are not cant be removed as safely and take more time and can run the risk of script error.
