[article] modding WinXP interface to look like OS X?

Postby Antony » Fri 30 Apr, 2004 8:10 pm

Wired has an article on people modding their Windows XP interface to look like Mac OS X, XP Users Cop a Feel of OS X.

But, remember, that's just the interface. Windows XP is still Windows XP, is still not as stable as OS X, not as easy to use as OS X, and of course do not have the UNIX strength as OS X has.

Get a Mac, I'd suggest.

:arrow: Windows XP is as stable as Mac OS X

:arrow: Windows XP is just as easy as Mac OS to use

:arrow: The UNIX potion of Mac OS X is nothing really, Mac OS X could easily be adapted to run atop of Linux, Mac OS 9.x, BeOS, NT etc.

That, and I don't understand why people try to mimic the OS X look on Windows XP... if they want that they should buy a Mac and use the Mac OS!

We shall leave the OS X is better then Win XP (or the other way round) in the debate thread.
