How to Turn Your PC into a Mac

An anonymous reader writes "CNet is running a Mac fanboy's idea of a nightmare feature entitled 'Mock OS X: Five ways to make your PC more like a Mac'. While the idea of turning my PC into a Mac-like machine does get my juices flowing, I'm not sure the user experience would be exactly the same but I'm going to spend this afternoon trying it out anyway. "To borrow a metaphor from Spartacus, some people like oysters and some people like snails. Except what if there was a way to make your snail do some of the cool things oysters can do, like make pearls? And what if you could make your PC do some of the cool stuff that Macs do so well?"" Seems to me that this would be a lot easier if step one was install linux...

    Don't forget to remove functionality to make your PC more like a Mac, like that 'other' mouse button.

      The click-and-hold has been a staple of Mac OS for a very long time. Don't blame your ignorance on Apple, blame it on your Windows brainwashing.

    I was using Vista/XP Virtual Desktops to give my XP box more desktop space. Then I bought a Mac. That's when I realized just how much Apple rips off from the rest of the world. It's the exact same functionality, right down to the animation.

    Anyways, if you want to duplicate Spaces in the windows world, try the above mentioned program.

    If $549 versus $1000 doesn't strike you as a bargain, you had better go back to remedial math class.

    A 600 bucks turd isn't exactly a bargain compared to a 1000 bucks Rolex watch. Money isn't the only thing that matters, you know. It's also about what you get for the money.
