FlyakiteOSX

great software. No problems after installing! Looks great now on my desktop. Finally the WinXP desktop looks like a professional OS. Good work, guys!!!

Just tried FlyaKiteOSX 2 yesterday, though the website crashed my browser too, the install seems to have gone well. Just a quick note for those with less perception: it modifies some of your main system files (explorer.exe is one of them) and several others. But it's still fast and has worked out for me greatly so far.

I tried it out last week for a day or so. Overall I liked the look and feel of things, but the main reasons I enjoy my Mac are the ease of the dock and QuickSilver. With FlyAKite I installed RKLauncher and everytime I restarted it went back to the default shortcuts. Annoying. Bigger probem: Everytime I restarted my PC my firewall (ZoneAlarm) asked about every single program. Usually it only asks if they're new or they've changed, but I guess FlyaKite makes it think they're all changed. Weird and unacceptably annoying. And yes, the website crashes Firefox for me almost every time.

Their website managed to crash my browser... I dread to think what would happen if I actually install it... Did anyone ever notice that there aren't ANY applications that make MacOSX look like Windows... curious...

Flyakite is the only way I can deal with using my work PC. It also peevs the IT guy... which is worth it. ~m

After switching to Mac last year, I learned that the only thing sadder than using a PC is using a PC trying to be a Mac. I installed this on my PC at work the other week and removed it after 5 minutes because I found the experience entirely too depressing.

heh. Their 'Spotlight' is a Google web search. :-)

Man I wish we had theming stuff as nice and powerful as WindowBlinds, Windows Media Player XP, and WinAmp.
