When surveys are conducted that probe into the public's opinions regarding computer operating system interfaces, the results most often show that people tend to favor the Mac OS X design over most of the interfaces used for the Windows family of operating systems. While Windows 7 has introduced some of the most cutting-edge features seen on PCs to date, it still does not stack up to OS X in terms of usability, speed, and aesthetic pleasingness, according to many people who have had the good fortune to use both Windows and Mac computers. Thankfully, there is an alternative out there for PC users who want the advantage of an OS X user environment. This alternative is in the form of the Mac OS X Theme.

The Mac OS X Theme is a theme for Windows 7 that converts the entire Windows operating system interface into one that resembles the Mac OS X interface. All of the design elements from OS X are ported over using this theme, which runs on the WindowBlinds theme-management platform. Within this general OS X theme are over 20 different styles which affect the colors and textures of the basic OS X theme, among them Platinum, Graphite, and Aqua. The Mac OS X theme even includes the Apple menu, although due to differences in the underlying functions available in Windows as opposed to the real Mac OS X, not all of the Apple menu functionality is available in the Mac Os X Theme.

Still, this theme is an incredibly huge improvement over the basic Windows 7 theme. So for a quick, aesthetically-pleasing theme that you can apply to your PC, give this one a try. It's amazing how easy it is to get your PC desktop looking and behaving almost exactly like Mac OS X.
