Well, after a long search, I found the SNOW TRANSFORMATION PACK. The pack is intended to be used with Windows 7. It has been made by Windows X Live. Newer versions of this pack might be available on the makers website, but the pack I am redirecting you towards has been tested personally by me on Windows 7 Ultimate. In fact, I am still using it, as I dont like that old windows style, with a boring start button and the same old taskbar.
So what is STP:
Snow Transformation Pack is basically a themepack, which installs itself like any other computer program, i.e. if you ever think that you have had enough Mac experience, you can easily uninstall it from the homescreen or the control panel like any other software. The pack modifies the icons, sounds, installs a dock on the bottom, and gives you the stunning Mac experience. The best part is none of your files are deleted or corrupted. They remain where they were as they were in the previous windows layout.

INSTALLATION GUIDE:
Changing the Theme:
Before you run the snow transformation pack, change the theme to WINDOWS 7 Default theme. You can do this by right-clicking on the desktop, and choosing personalize. And then, from the Aero Themes, select Windows 7. Then run the software.
Installing STP:
Agree to the terms and conditions, once you run the software. Make sure to set Windows X Live website as your homepage, as it makes you a premium user instantly (you can always change the browser afterwards), and installs the STP in a better way. When prompted, always select the easy mode, and always select the FULL INSTALLATION option. Never choose them yourself, as after installation you will find that a certain element is missing (like me when I installed it the very first time), and so you will have to reinstall the Transformation Pack. Be patient, sit back, and let the snow transformation pack deploy all the files. Do not hesitate at any point, and never cancel the installation.
Hiding Desktop Icons:
Now that you have installed the STP, you will see an amazing logon screen. Login...! Then on the desktop you will see modified icons, but in the default mac, there are no icons, so you will follow the following steps to get rid of them (for now only, you can always bring them back if you want). Go to Control Panel\Appearance and Personalization\Personalization, and then from the left pane, select 'change desktop shortcuts'. From there, unselect all the icons, and select the checkbox which says 'allow themes to change desktop icons.
Changing the Dock Layering Settings:
You are now two steps away from having a full mac experience. If you dont change this setting, you will see the dock above everything... That is a problem. Once you follow these steps, you will find the dock only on the desktop...On the desktop, right click on the dock, and then select Dock Settings. From the Dialog box that opens, select POSITION. Then, from the layerings dropdown box, select normal...
Changing the Taskbar setting:
The taskbar on the top is big, and does not look like enough MAC. So we are going to decrease its size. Right click on the taskbar and click properties. From the dialog box that opens, select the checkbox 'Use small icons'. Leave rest settings as they are. Click OK.
Your computer is now ready. Start putting your shortcuts in the dock for quick access, and
ENJOY THE MAC EXPERIENCE...
There will be a homescreen of STP which will open always when you start/restart your computer. You can either let it always start, or choose not to run at startup.
One of the major questions is that after the uninstallation of this pack, will I be needing to reinstall windows. The answer is no. Once you uninstall it, you will get the same old windows... No problem...
