How to Transform your Windows PC into Mac OS X

The "Lion Transformation Pack" is a customization pack for Windows created by "windowsx" which I found on Deviant Art. It transforms your Windows XP, Vista or 7 into Mac OS X Lion interface and makes your Windows look-like Mac OS X Lion. Not sure why you would want to do this unless its for fun, or as a prank, but for PCWizKid, the Windows 7 interface is just fine, otherwise if I wanted a Mac, I would get one

However, like I said, there is the fun factor here of just being able to say that you can "Do it" and fool people that you have OS X installed on your AMD PC for example.

This new skin pack installs Mac OS X Lion theme, icons, login screen, sound schemes, mouse cursors, wallpapers, dock utility and a few 3rd party utilities to provide Mac OS X functionality in Windows.

NOTE: Be warned, that PCWizKid is not responsible for you doing this and any harm that may come out of it to your PC. You should always create a system restore point prior to doing these changes since it modifies system files significantly and undoing everything all back can really only be undone if you do a proper "System Restore" which has a snapshot of your system prior to you doing the OS X Lion transformation. You can then later do a system restore to bring back your system to what it was before. Also as good practice, always scan any program for viruses before you install it.
