[
I will insert screenshots later for now you can use the mac version, it looks the same]
8. there will be a point where it will ask you to:
"
hold the POWER and HOME buttons for approximately 25s."
The trick to this is make sure you hold it for long enough, press firmly and make sure that the dock does not get unhitched. Also hold it long enough and watch your command window, once it starts moving again, you can let go of the buttons. Keep holding until something on the command window happens.
Then there will be a lot of different text on the screen like "booting iphone" and "sending files" etc. be patient and wait till all of that is completed you will be rewarded
once that is completed it will give you final message and you are done. Once you have your prompt back (
C>) then you can type in:
iphoneinterface
and viola you are now interacting with the iphone windows style - congratulations!
Be on the lookout for
Modding your iPhone for Windows 102 (ringtones, carrier logos, and more images!)
and in
Modding your iPhone for Windows 103 (themes and skins, MMi style 
!)
IMPORTANT NOTE: if you are having troubles either your getting locked up when updating or error messages of any kind while doing this process you may want to try this, its from hal128 from iphonealley.com
