I can only see two ways for you to do this:
-Program your own OSX for Intel
-Break in Steve's office in Cupertino, open the safe labelled "ultra-secret" and find the rumoured alpha version of OSX for Intel (if it exists of course)

Good Luck,

You can install the Darwin Kernel :D :D :D

Seriously, there is no way to do it. If you mean NeYo, he just used a background pic with the dock on it and then pretty much skinned anything (the OS, Windows Media Player, AIM) to look like OS X, but it was no true OS X but WinXP ;)
 
LMAO!
No Dude... My Windows XP Machine had a dynamic Dock! ;)
Obv not like the true Dock... but it was most Definately NOT a BMP background or watever...

to get XP 2 look So Simular meant Hr's of hacking DLL's and exe's 2 convert application icons etc... Then the rest was down 2 Skinning.
Windows Blinds allows you to move the min, max, and Close Glymph's to the left hand side...
Also, look For WindowsFX which Can Do Some transparency and shadows etc.
err... the Dock itself, is Fully Dynamic... Called "AquaDock" a small Download... Merely acts as an application Switching tool... but can look nice. ummm... Also Check out Aqua Finder which acts as a File Browser. Aqua Browser imitates some kind of Mac Browser too... although u can easily Skin IE6 with 3rd party apps like themebar and WebBlinds.
Another app 2 look for is "Desktop X" which can do some cool things.
the iTunes Skin was part of QCD. Also, Quicktime Skins for WMP8 are available.
Also... a small app, which provides the same as "About this Mac" is available. and the Finder Bar, up top is entitled ObjectBar... and is also Dynamic...

the StarDock Apps are shareware... and to get the OS X feel, they need to be purchased, and then Skinned accordingly.

other apps to look for...
WinMac - alternative Finder Bar
Glass2k - Set any window 2 a degree of transparency.

The Hardest PArt... (and most boring!) is resource hacking exe's and dll's... to replace icons etc.

the end result is pretty amazing... in comparison 2 Luna (tellytubby) Blue..

It looks like a mak it moves like a mac ..it crash as a PC :))))
Why bother so much work to get something similar to Mac os x? like a ..pretending is X?? sorry i am not being arrogant or anything.is not my intention at least..but if you want a mac......get it ..don't pretend..there is MUCH more than just look :))))
But i understand and i am "glad" someone in the PC wrld appreciate the work Apple did with Aqua :)
 
LOL! Yeah i see ya point Dude...
When infact i recently Bought an iBook ... So i have Both OS X and XP! So its ALL Good!

i think the main reason i did it... is cus... u see Xp's Luna... and u know it can be customized etc. and do it, and radiacally change the appearance is a challenge... and once achieved is satisfying! so thats really why i did it! although.. since getting my iBook... i have been considering going back 2 XP's original luna GUI! ... i am not sure! ... either way... i am happy with my work... and its nice 2 see other peeps are too!

There are many users i know who wish to have their PC Desktop like mine, so apple shud feel Very Flattered! its nice that i get so many Private IM's and emails (another M/b) regarding my XP / OS X Desktop!

:D

you could try and find the Rhapsody build floating about the net. It offers much of OS X's goodness, but no aqua:(
 
Yeah i understand the p[leasure of customizing... especially on XP since that is supposed to be one of the biggest cool stuff of XP... but anywhoo..once again.. i like Aqua cause is the "original one" and .. there is more than just look.. anyway congrats for making your PC closer to the "aqua world" :)

I also thought about citing Apple site
"Contrary to popular belief, Mac and Windows get along perfectly together. They run the same software. They talk to each other. It’s a small world after all."

It's a friendlt friendly world :))))

Even now this kind of a thread doesnt suprize me :p
I am not sure if emulators inc have made a PowerPC emulator chip,
but even if they did
1) It wouldnt emulate current generation PPC chips (not even 603s I dont think)

2) ITs costs a couple of hundre of dollars :p


bottom line --- OS X only on mac :)

You buy an iBook (PowerBook), you dismount it.

You dismount your PC.

You put the iBook mother board, screen, and peripherals inside your PC box.

Now your PC runs MacOS-X. And if you want to run XP or W95 on your upgraded PC, just buy VirtualPC...

:p :) :p :)
