I got it figured out, or close to.
This individual is using Rainmeter combined with the HUD Vision config pack
I use the same HUD Vision display on my system
For the The upper dock, it is Rocketdock with custom PNG icons, very easily made with The Gimp.

The lack of aero or solid substance can be had by combining Vista Glazz and any number of Vista themes from DeviantART

I could simulate this desktop (minus the wallpaper) in a couple of hours

Rainmeter can be downloaded at:

HUD Vision pack can be downloaded at:

The Gimp can be downloaded at:
www.gimp.org

Vista Glazz can be downloaded at:
http://www.download....4-10671199.html

Then pick a Glass look you like from here:
http://browse.deviantart.com/?qh=&sect...p;q=vista+glass

The items on the left are also either a Samurize pack, but I believe it is also a rainmeter config pack, I just can't remember which one at the moment.

Correction:
The items on the right are avedesk, with some customized desklets.
These couls easily be simulated in both rainmeter or samurize, but if yiu wish ti utilize multiple applications to do the jib of one.
Avedesk can be found here:
http://www.avedesk.org/

Of all of these the only heavily active utility is Samurize.
Most of the applets used in the desptop in question is Rainmeter with the HUD Vision display

One thing for certain, everything you see here is free software

One way to speed up your computer is to get a good PC Optimizer and Registry cleaner from Intel Software Directory. I think it's either Docky or CairoDock that's been used to replace the standard desktop bars in Gnome. I'm quite happy with the default Gnome look, so I've never tried using either of them myself. Consequently I don't really know much about them. Your best bet is probably to do a bit of googling about Docky and/or Cairo Dock, then install one of them and have a play! I don't think you can have both installed at the same time, I think it's a case of having one or the other. But I could be wrong!

Apple’s OS desktop has always been widely considered cleaner, more intuitive, and more customizable than Microsoft’s. Although with the new Vista OS, windows now has a couple of nice features in regards to design. So why not have the best of both worlds by enhancing your Windows Desktop to look just like Mac’s, while still being able to work off Window’s OS.
