There certainly are a lot more OS X themes and wallpapers than there are actual OS X screenshots.

Gooberlx2, where did you get that Cha-Ninja theme? Couldn't find it thru google

I'm pretty sure that I got it at either deviantArt or themeXP, oddly I can't get to either of them right now (I wonder if my parent's roadrunner is blocking sites or something).

Someone else asked about the Background I think. I got that from animewallpapers.

Is anyone able to get to:

deviantArt
themeXP
or DeskMod? I'm totally unable to do so on my parent's roadrunner connection. I wonder WTF is going on. I would be mildly irritated if roadrunner started taking the liberty of blocking sites such as these.

I found it at deviantArt. search for simplex and you should be able to find it. I had to vertically mirror it so it wouldn't be covered by icons. ;)

Ohh, deviantArt came back! There must be a dying router or something somewhere between them and me.

Herpes simplex x 10,000 (or so)

Is there any way that I can make my WinXP desktop looks like Mac OS X without any 3rd party programs?

No. you need Theme Xp or some other windows skinning program to do it

I imagine that the default IE shortcut is some fancy-shancy windows one with different properties than a normal shortcut. Just remove it and then a regular shortcut to c:\program files\internet explorer\iexplore.exe (or something like that)
