For people who like to use a Windows-style taskbar in OSX,

I found this little program called Switcheroo.

 

http://mac.softpedia.com/progScreenshots/S...shot-21899.html

 

Is it some how possible to:

- switch the ctrl & alt buttons?

- to move minimize, maximize & close buttons in the top bar of a window from the left side to the right side?

 

Is there a good WinXP theme some where that would make OSX look like WinXP?

It's the only way I can sell OSX86 to my spouse ;)

 

Thanks for your replies.

I won't consider this an insult, but rather an excellent tool to bring more people to try... and enjoy OSX.

The biggest issues I found, as a switcher, was to lose my Windows habits... this app is not perfect, but it will surely help other to enjoy a clean, stable and creative OS such as OSX.

 

Good pointer thank you.

I won't go so far as to say it's an insult, and there's nothing wrong with there being a program like that (I'm sure there are many people who are used to Windows who use Macs), but I don't understand what that point of installing OS X on a PC is if you're just going to try to make it look like Windows. lol

Yes, I'm sure that there are many people who would rather have the windows interface. There have been studies that show more people can work more efficiently under windows xp than either osx or vista. That said, if someone wants more stability, security, or just to use software like FCS2, more power to them and let them keep the easier to navigate taskbar. I found this link by searching for an app exactly like this, and there were many other osx users who wanted the same thing.
