Update your Windows system with a new look, similar to the Mac OS X Yosemite operating system layout.
With Yosemite Transformation Pack, you get all of the interesting a glossy style of Apple without having to buy the hardware, essentially skinning your Windows system.
The 'classic' Mac OS is the original Macintosh operating system that was introduced in 1984 alongside the first Macintosh and remained in primary use on Macs until the introduction of Mac OS X in 2001. Apple released the original Macintosh on January 24, 1984; its early system software was partially based on the Lisa OS and the Xerox PARC Alto computer, which former Apple CEO Steve Jobs. TransMac Details Open Mac APFS and HFS format disk drives and dmg files from Windows. The aim they had was to create a reliable, efficient and innovative Linux distribution with a similar to MAC OS desktop. But the real fact is that Pear Linux 8 is an Ubuntu remix with a simple but beautiful user interface (a customized GNOME 3) and out-of-the-box support for many popular multimedia codecs.
Once you've completed installing Yosemite Transformation Pack, the look of most of your OS will have changed to Mac OS X-like styling. That includes taskbar, windows, buttons, start button while also installing a dock which is similar to Apple's.
The typical features of a Mac system will be installed, all taking a nod from the original but while retaining standard Windows functions. In fact, the Safari icon will just open up your default browser instead of forcing users to run Safari themselves.
In conclusion, Yosemite Transformation Pack really does provide you with a different look and feel of your plain Windows operating system but before installing it, we highly recommend setting a system restore point so that in case of something going wrong, you can revert to your original state -- that or if you don't like the new look.

Transarctica (or Arctic Baron) is a 1993 computer game made by the French company Silmarils for the Amiga and ported to the PC, Atari ST, Macintosh and Atari Falcon.
The story is based on the post-apocalyptic science fiction novel series La Compagnie des glaces by the French writer Georges-Jean Arnaud.
In the 21st century, mankind is being ravaged by the greenhouse effect. A last-ditch effort to counteract it is designed and executed. It works far too well.
Centuries if not millennia later, the planet is entirely covered in a thick, opaque cloud layer. Giant wolf packs roam the frozen wastes, and the mammoth has re-emerged from the elephant stock. Mankind ekes out a living in a few handfuls of settlements, connected by a network of massive armored trains. The network in turn is in the hands of the gargantuan Viking Union, which is merciless towards threats to its power. A few radicals, though, are willing to attempt a change, and managing to hijack a train of the Union, the Transarctica, they set out in search of the 'sun'.
The game is divided into two modes; exploration and combat.
The train roams Eurasia using its various facilities and tools, gathering coal for currency and fuel, visiting towns to trade and to enhance the train, and searching for clues for its quest. The dystopic setting is rather well integrated, and for instance the use of slave labor is necessary to complete the game.
The interface is quite original but rather cumbersome. This part has been criticized for the under-efficiency of trading in comparison to mining.
The Viking Union is out for blood, and meeting with another train triggers a simple battle mode. Battles are real-time plus slow-paced and may be dull at first, but the amount of things to handle will multiply with time - though this hardly helps the common mop-up period at the end.
The two sides are positioned on parallel tracks some distance away from each other. Maneuvering is limited to horizontal movement. Combat assets include cannons (to attack enemy wagons), machine guns (to mow down ground troops, on both sides if timed poorly), infantry (jacks of all trades to operate on and in between trains, attack ground troops, set charges on hostile wagons and clear them from friendly ones) and mammoth cavalry (to attack ground troops and to shield and transport infantry). All other wagons, save the locomotives, are dead weight.
Combat is won when the enemy is disarmed, the train is then looted for intact wagons and materials and the contents of destroyed wagons are written off. The game is lost if the Transarctica loses a vital wagon. All engagements can be expected to take several minutes.
Computer Gaming World in May 1994 criticized the train controls as both too simple and 'intentionally annoying' and train combat as 'painfully slow', and mentioned other 'annoying, rough edges'. The magazine concluded that the game's 'blemishes derail an otherwise original and delightful premise'.[1]
