Change Windows Vista To Mac OS X

Windows Vista only: Windows XP users with a serious Mac crush have FlyakiteOSX to make their desktop resemble, if not work like, a Mac, but Vista users—even those upgraded to Service Pack 1—now have Vista OS X for a similar OS paint job. The installer (unfortunately) requires that you disable User Account Control to move forward, but you’ll get screensavers, wallpapers, a “Dock,” and more goodies, all accessible from the basic “Themes” menu. The gHacks blog states that the theme completely uninstalls itself when you’re ready to move back to Windows; I haven’t tried it myself, so let us know your experiences in the comments. Vista OS X is a free download for Windows Vista systems only.

Connecting to your windows ad-hoc wireless network With Linux

Do an iwlist to get all the info about your ad hoc network. In another console window, do this with your own information. You don’t need the quotes.
Code:

iwconfig “eth1″ essid “potato” mode “ad-hoc” channel “9″ key “s:12347″ ap any

The s: in the key is for ancii, if you use a hex key you won’t need that if you don’t use encryption at all you won’t need the key section at all. After you have that set up correctly do this.
Code:

ifconfig eth1 up

dhclient eth1

That should get your computer connected. It worked for me when nothing else would.
