YouTube - Built-in screen zooming on the Mac

I've always loved this function on a MAC, but I aint exactly gonna buy a mac because of it.

I've seen heaps of 3rd party programs for Windows to get some of the Macs functionality like the dock bar on the bottom..

Pleeeaaaseee haalp =) (says it like that leeloo chick from 5th elemen!)

the magnifier (that's what i use) isn't exactly what zaim's talking about

the mac zoom actually zooms in on the whole deskop, as if you were zooming in on a photo
