Flyakite OS X is a transformation pack for Windows XP, which changes the complete look and feel of Windows XP into the style of Mac OS X. In addition to the appearance of the windows, it also changes the start menu and most XP icons, the boot screen, screensaver, and many critical system files.
The current version of this pack is version 3.5 and is a small file size of 30 MB. It changes hundreds of windows system files in the installation. An uninstallation file is also available. For safety, a restore point in Windows is set, that restores all of the changed system files, in case the installation or the uninstallation fails. Completed transformation is about 200 MB and should be fully reversible (however, usually some things remain).
The original homepage of Flyakite OS X was constructed to feel a lot like the Mac OS X Desktop. It includes many features that take very long to load on anything less than a DSL connection. Since the version 3.5 on February 25, 2006, no newer versions have appeared.
