    i read a very short article in the paper a few days ago about a website that made some software that would let you make your windows computer run as if it were an apple. does anyone know anything more about this, like how much it actually changes your computer, or where the software is from?

    You got it the wrong way. A program called "bootcamp"...or something like that was released for Apple so that It could run windows as a programs and within it you would be able to use windows programs. It would be cool to run Apple stuff on a windows tho :P

    You may be talking about visually changing it with software like Object dock.

    no you can actually run MAC OSX on a PC.
    you can also run XP on a MAC.

    You just need the right version of mac osx for it to work on pc if you know what I mean.

    There are Mac Emulation programs out there for Windows XP, they don't actually cahnge any files.. It slows your computer down by about 2000% though, so you might want to watch out. PearPC is one of them, thats the only one I know.

    Wow....where have I been. Is it any good? I would try it out myself but i keep thinking that it would be pointless because this seems like emulating a mac and I don't want slow mac programs.

    I've heard of BootCamp, which will let you emulate Windows on Mac, but i haven't really heard anything that will let you do it the other way around. I'm pretty sure that there is something though.
