I also use one app. for the dock, but I'm not going to tell until the article is over, maybe next time. This app. is what I use on my PC, and is then best UI emulator on the bussines.

Works pretty good. http://osx.portraitofakite.com/ Its a free program that modifies not only the GUI but the dialogs to look like OS X. Also includes Object Dock (from Stardock) and doesn't require buying or running a trial of any software. flyakite OS X is what I’ve always used on windows. Works pretty good.
