You won't necessarily find such answers in Stardock Support ;)
However, if you have ObjectDesktop or any of Stardock's skinning products, you can do quite a lot to make Vista look like a Mac.
First check out this awesome tutorialby WC's own Steve Greiner. That should help a lot.
He covered a lot in that article, and if you don't find an answer, check out:

Moving to the right forum.

Looking around before posting may prove more beneficial in the long run.

Okay Bob, go to the WindowBlinds Gallery Library.

In the upper right hand corner you should see a search window. Type in works like Mac, Tiger, Panther or OSX. Sinners will use many different names for their skins.

You could also you the drop down menu and pick OS. Gives these a try. You will find something that looks like Mac. Use the same search in all the libraries to fill out you desktop.  ;)

Package? I've heard of Flyakite OS X, but it's just for Windows XP.
For Windows Vista, there's Vista OS X Transformation Packfrom the same people who brought about Flyakite OSX.
However, keep in mind that these transformation packs aren't necessarily the safest way to skin or change your PC. They change/modify/hack many critical system files to make your PC look like anything else [Mac OS X in this case] but they cause more trouble then they're worth. I suggest you check out the tutorials above and go for a safer, original, legit and secure way to change your PC.


[WinCustomize does not subscribe to anything I recommendm so if you do use that Transformation Pack and everything goes wrong, do NOT blame Stradock/WinCustomize for it]

I'm not sure if he knows what he's supposed to do once he downloads a skin.
Just to be careful, Bob, you'll need WindowBlinds to apply the skin.
It's the only safe way to skin your PC. WindowBlinds comes with a free 30 Day trial, and costs $ 19.95 only. You should also check ObjectDock once you're there, it's an awesome app that gives you a Mac OS X-ish dock [actually more than the OS X dock], and it's free.

Pixeleo you make a good point. He didn't tell us that he was running WBs or any of the software.  ;)
