Hello everyone,

I have 2 questions,

1. How do you make a Vista install disk? My new computer did not come with one, but I need an install disk just in case my hard-drive fails.

2. How do you make Vista 64-bit look like Mac OS X? I have already tried VistaOSX, but that made my computer so slow, that it took over 20 minutes to boot up. But normally my computer takes around 2 minutes to boot.

Hope someone can answer these questions.

to make vista look like OS X you first need to download 3 .dll files and replace them in your System32 folder ( http://www.winmatrix.com/forums/in [...] opic=11742 )
then u need to download a theme that looks like OSX
i like this one:

But does the OSX thing have the dock, because that slows down my computer

its just a skin,
so your program borders, and taskbar will look like OS X, and you'll have the default OS X background
it won't install Apple software clones

Sorry to say,
but the website for the .dlls is powered by Zango, but Mcafee said it was a virus, and it opened up like 50 tabs.
