shapeshifter for osx combined with the OSXP theme, comes with icons and wallpapers. for osx panther i also made an XP boot screen and login panel, but they don't work with leopard.
the reasoning is not because either operating system is better, it's either because of a personal preference, or in my case pure contrariness. after all, if you like osx that much, use it. don't make a PC look like it cos they don't work in the same way.
i have always used macs, so that's where i'm comfortable, but i use PC's at work. I have never liked how osx looks, so I've always used shafeshifter or similar to customise it.

My preference has always been for Windows on a PC. I was brought up on a diet of both Windows 3.1 and 95, and whatever Apple had out at that time - I ended up preferring Windows and always have, even though apple have made some pretty big changes. I've always made Vista and XP look like Windows 95 because it's the look I prefer, and I work better with it.
Thanks for the info - been wondering for a while now if the combination of OSX behind the XP interface would make an even easier (for me) to use computer.

with Macs being intel based these days you can 'dual-boot' and have effectively two machines in one, so if you were suddenly rather flush and wanted to experiment, it could be something to investigate.
