Someone hacked the software enough on a pc to get OS X running on it.

I don't think it is an easy thing to accomplish.

It stands to reason if you can get a Mac to run XP; why can't you get a pc to run OS X.

Somebody please buy it and report back. I am very interested in getting OS X to run on some sort of generic Intel motherboard. Wink

Make me an offer on a P4 3 ghz machine running 10.4.6. Here are two screen shots. Note that you can't run OS X system updates as they tend to break the hack.

I've done it before, but you're stuck forever with the hacked image you've used. It's not like you can use a retail install DVD to redo your computer. Why buy that when you can buy a mini and ger a _real_ Mac?
