Turning Microsoft Windows into a Mac Desktop

Slowly my Windows desktop is starting to look like a Mac. Rocketdock adds a slick scrolling link bar that zooms in and out, allows applications to be minimized to the bar, and auto-hides, just as the Mac standard desktop has. Yahoo! Widgets has a faded out desktop widget state, including options for a hot-key widget overlay, allowing you to add live gadgets to your desktop. Google Desktop allows in-file search of everything on your computer, indexed immediately, so that you can find word documents, pictures, and even gMail (online email) files that have what you're looking for in the internal text of the document.
