. . . And, that's the thing. There are a tremendous number of nice Windows boxes out there. If it was easy without hacking and such to throw the Mac OS onto a machine made by a different manufacturer, I'd've jumped ship a long time ago. We're talking boot off a drive, run the installer, done kind of simplicity. I've looked at the instructions for creating a hackintosh and it definitely isn't that simple.
And that's why Steve killed the Mac clones, like my J700.

Yep. Too bad really. Especially since the Mac is such a small component of Apple's current revenue.
At the time when Steve killed the clones, Mac sales were a MUCH bigger component of Apple's revenue. In fact, the iMac saved Apple; if clones had still been in the mix, that might not have happened.
