Mac OS X based themes for windows just suck.

That's what I thought until a month ago when I tried the Tiger theme, and I really like it. I could do without the window controls on the left (Mac-esque), but the theme is clean and easy on the eyes. It is a nice change from the silver XP theme.

Just get a Mac. Then you don't even have to theme it.

That's pretty obtuse. I would never buy a Mac, but that doesn't mean the theme isn't worthwhile... don't like it? Then don't use it...

It's not like I spent hours trying to give my PC a Mac look... lol.

It's kind of silly to try and make your system look like another, but not be willing to buy the other.

No, it's not... that was the very point of my last two posts. A skin doesn't change the usability of the computer. Switching from a PC to a Mac does. Nice try, though.

Nice try? I was just stating my opinion. My Windows machine looks like Windows, my Macs look like Macs, my OpenBSD and Linux machines look like generic *nixes, and my Solaris machines look like Solaris.
