Warnings:
I'm sure some of you have heard of the program FlyakiteOSX. While this program does have the capability of changing the way your computer looks to a Mac, i advise strongly against using it. I experimented with it and the results, while impressive, had some terrible side affects. It removed several DLLs necessary for Windows to run properly, thus making my computer very slow and unstable. In the end, I was forced to completely reinstall my computer's software to undo the damage.
