1. Move your taskbar to the top of your screen

Simple, but an easy one to miss. A Mac is like looking in the mirror. If you have a tall monitor, working with the taskbar at the top of the screen makes life a little easier on the eyes, but it’s mostly down to preference.

2. Install a dock

The OSX dock is a simple way to launch regularly used programs. There are two well known versions of it for Vista, StarDock’s ObjectDock or RocketDock. Of the two, we prefer RocketDock’s look and feel, and the fact that there’s no charge for extra applets.

3. Get Expose

Adding in background apps to Windows isn’t always a good idea – they can seriously slow down your PC. If you want a better window browser than Vista’s Win+Tab feature, try the Expose-like Switcher 2.0.0 app from insentient.net.

4. Throw in Widgets

It’s easy to forget that you can actually detach Sidebar gadgets in Vista and position them wherever you want, then just use Win+D to show and hide them. Alternatively, you could install Yahoo! Widgets for a more colourful, Apple Dashboard-like experience.

5. Completely reskin Windows

Heavy duty editing of the Windows look is going to require a third party app like StarDock’s WindowBlinds – but it will cost you. Alternatively, there’s the complete OSX clone FlyAKite, which you can try in your browser at the link. Be warned, though, installing it will change important Windows files and there’s no bug fixing development on the way.

6. Get some Spaces

Multiple work areas are nothing new, but Apple likes to point out their existence in Leopard. Give yourself some extra room for Windows with DeskSpace.

7. That’s the look

You can customise Vista without installing extra software, but it usually involves a lot of tweaking. Why not visit MyVistaThemes and try out a new look? The inevitable MacOS one is available, while there’s also a tutorial to help install it here.
