To change the Windows desktop environment into a mac desktop environment, first make sure that you have enough space on your hard drive (at lease two gigs). To turn the Windows DE into a Mac DE, you can do one of the following:

The easy way: Install Fly-a-Kite OSX

The hard way: Install the following: Stardock Objectdock, Finder Newest version, and the Mac themes. To install any theme on a PC, first install and run Universal Theme Patcher, which will patch all of the Windows theme files. Then, reboot. Your computer is now ready to run third-party themes. The best website to download them is www.deviantart.com. Search "Leopard Theme", without the quotations or, if you want Snow Leopard themes, search "Snow Leopard Theme". Download the Mac theme that best suits you. Finally, this is the hardest step for beginners. After finished downloading the theme file, move it to the desktop. Then, open Explorer. Goto "C:\Windows\Resources\Themes". Move the theme file from the desktop to the Themes folder you have just opened up. Now, right-click on an empty area of the desktop to change the theme. Choose the one you want.

There is one more optional download: The Taskbar Killer, which when ran, will completely remove the task bar from the screen: NOT AUTO-HIDING IT: COMPLETELY REMOVING IT!!! But, you can easily get it back in the matter of seconds: press down "ALT + T". This should show the taskbar. Press those same keys again to reverse the action and hide the taskbar again.
