apple dashboard look for winXP.

I'm not entirely sure what you mean by a dashboard program, but I do know that you can use WindowBlinds to tweak the appearance of the UI. I know that they have a MAC OS/X skin that comes with it, so you don't have to go hunting about for a new theme.

When is OSX supposed to be released for non-macs? Rather than mess with making Windows look like OSX, I'm just anxiously awaiting the opportunity to install OSX on my PC :)

2006, IIRC. Also, it will probably only be officially supported under special Intel machines, though.

I believe this is what you seek:

I just did the same thing, In fact I was actually hunting for a dock like you describe while reading your topic. The best I have found (in the last couple minutes, that means only) is MobyDock, which is the same dock (for all intents and purposes).

Good luck.

ObjectDock is the best dock I've used (as far as free ones go), but yeah, I second Konfabulator for the dashboard. Dashboard actually was introduced after Konfabulator. There aren't any decent menu bars (the one at the top) for Windows that are free. I used McBar and made my own theme for it, and it worked decently.

Yes. Apple seeks to maintain control over the hardware, so AFAIK, the only difference between existing macs and the new ones will be the fact that there is an intel processor in there. There will still be barriers against installing OSX on PC's.

Not as many though, since it will be an x86 architecture.

Oh my god that is amazing. One less reason to switch to OSX, thank god.

Well, with built in DRM into the CPU, there's not going to be much of a way to get around it on other machines. I know the old Apple systems actually had core parts of their OS built into ROM chips, which guaranteed others couldn't make clones of the system due to patents, and you couldn't really pirate the software, since it didn't have all the necessary parts. I wouldn't be a bit surprised if they do something similar.
