Analysis by Sugoryo (a computer expert who has both XP and a mac):

Sugoruyo wrote:

First of all the icons are simply icons, so they mean nothing.
On a mac, the icons have a shadow and it can't be turned off. Same with the letters, their shadow is thicker. Also, the name can't go to the corner in any way. The apple on the upper left is too small, which isn't on any mac theme.
On the dock, the icons of safari (web browser) and other programs are mac icons, but you can copy them. But on the right it has the icon of a minimised window, which, from the icon, seems to belong to safari. Which is pretty difficult to copy, since it's pretty difficult to change the icon of an .exe, but it's easy for the shortcut.
If it's windows, it's a very good job. It seems to be so because the spotlight (advanced search function), which appeared in the first skinnable version of MAC OS, is missing.
