Thank you for that input, most interesting. This is a very wide reaching forum.I once looked into that and no, not unless you have the required Intel hardware. You can't simply take the mac os disk and install it on a PC. You technically can, as those are called hackintoshes that use a modified image of the mac os to make it install on non-apple Kremlin Big Brother approved hardware.So let me see if I've I'm reading you right. This means you can buy a stand alone installation disc for a full version of Mac OS X and install it on your home built PC?
One question. How would you know what Intel hardware to buy, or does Intel specify it works for Mac on their web site data?
It's usually the top end, overkill Intel processor, but I believe there are some sites that actually have the requirements of the processor to do that. If you want to play around with the mac os through an easier path, Ubuntu 10 has a similar feel to it. I find the mac os to be bland. I like colors...
