How to: Change Windows Vista Icons

How do you do it?
I absolutely LOVE Vista, but I like the Mac OSX Icons.
I would like to change my icons all at once to an icon set.
Is there a way to do this?
Please let's not turn this into a "If you love OSX icons so much, get OSX/Windows fan-boy" thread.
I asked the same question on another forum and they were just mean about it.

Well, if you love OSX... I'm just kidding, we are all friendly on this forum.

What's an icon set?

By the way, I found out what an icon set is; it's more of a theme. That would be a great addition to Vista.

I believe what Dannymichel wants to do is to change all icons to a set of icons that represents a specific theme and that can be done just by selecting the specific set. To me that would really be nice because it allows for better personalization with just one selection. Apparently you can do that with OSX.

You can do that with ANY OS.
Why not Vista?

I think it'll happen eventually, either by MS or third party. I'd rather have a third party do it, as MS imposes too many restrictions and provides add ons that some don't need or want.
