Oh boy, this is hilarious... Barbarians at the Gate indeed...

It seems quite a few Mac-fans, in a fit of self-righteous anger, have started spamming the Aqua-soft boards, damning the team to hell for "shamelessly stealing" Apple's GUI. One of them wants to "slap me in the teeth." How... Uncivilised... Of course, my potty mouth didn't help matters either

Aqua... urgh, don't get me started. Before there was a flood of XP crud, there was a deluge of Aqua crud. Anyway, it's always fun to see the ignorant make fools out of themselves.

Example: "Anyway this site wont be here for long. I have contacted Apple legal". Seems there is some fireworks coming?

According to the regulars at Aqua-soft, Apple has been aware of their site for a while. They'll only be shooting themselves in the foot if they close the down, really. Here's a team of people who love X's interface so much they're showing people how to bring it over to the PC. What better advertisement for the Mac is there?

Besides, I have some friends who have the system 9 and are using a OSX theme on it. OSX skins isn't just for PC people.
