Description
As we all know, the Mac OS X has been released to the public ever since 1984, but most people are deciding not to get a Mac and stay with Windows due to the expensive desktops and laptops, even though the OS is fairly easy and cheap to buy. With macbooks starting price of $1299, around $400 more exprensive than most PC laptops, which are around $600~$900 in range, people do not want to buy them because they are almost half of a normal business person's wages. With over 300 new features and programs included in the Leopard you just can't stop thinking about buying it. So I'm posting this tutorial to make our existing Windows XP to look-a-like a Mac OS X Leopard.
