Cloak Vista in OS X
Transform Windows Vista to look like Mac OS X.
VistaOSX '09 is a transformation pack that changes your desktop and theme to look like Mac OS X.
Some of the files that the program changes are the Boot logo, Login screen, Welcome Center, Branding, PC-Properties, Back and forward buttons, and icons.
There are a handful of Mac-type themes to choose from within the application.
You can opt to have the program install Wallpaper, Screensaver, leftsider, Rklauncher, Sounds, Cursors, Spaces, Skins, Visual Style for Vista, and WinRAR 3x.
Transformation packs have been around for some years, with a large percentage making Windows XP look like Windows Vista. Programs that change Windows to look like a Mac are less common, and, there have been few that I thought were usable. This one works well, and is easy to undo, though you might need to disable any security software so it installs properly.
If you enjoy changing the look of your system you might want to give this a spin.
Update: the original link no longer works - the program can be downloaded via Rapid Share from Rajesh Patel's site.

I've actually experienced VistaOSX myself. It truly is a beautifully theme and is incredibly accurate.
However I did experience some problems with uninstallation of the theme. It left some debris in my registry, and I finally cleared it all out with a system restore.
Like you said in the article, "You can opt to have the program install Wallpaper, Screensaver, leftsider, Rklauncher, Sounds, Cursors, Spaces, Skins, Visual Style for Vista, and WinRAR 3x." This is very true.
I reccomend going with the sounds, cursors, spaces, skins, and screen saver. RKlauncer is decent, but doesn't offer the same amount of features as something like "Rocket Dock" or "Object Dock" (though it is quite appealing to look at)
Thanks again for the article
