Things like networking cards (ethernet and wireless), USB and firewire chipsets, touchpads, PCMCIA Cards, Bluetooth, CD/DVD drives etc etc seem to create all kinds of problems for the OSX86 community. When you use generic PC hardware, even if it is core 2 duo and includes one of Apples supported video cards / chipsets, you will likely hit snags with the rest of the hardware. One of the main reasons an apple machine 'Just works' is because of the proprietary architecture and hence the very small number of hardware profiles the OS needs to support.

Read through one of the install guides sometime and see what is really involved to get it 'working'.

You don't just plop in the Install disc and go take a shower like you do with a Mac either. Look at all the instability and program crashing reported. I see a list of partially working installs with numerous bugs, patches and yet to be solved hardware support issues. I don't see a list of machines running OS X flawlessly. I hate to rain on your parade but I would take a closer look at that OSX86 Wiki if I were you. My whole point, this should force a price drop in apple computers, as people will scratch their heads and wonder why they pay apple so much money, when OS X, and even Leopard can run on a PC. If OS X can run on a PC, its not illegal, it just shows, that a mac is over priced, and its just running on PC hardware anyway. It can run on both AMD and Intel.Ĭheck out there page, it list the PC's that can fully run OS X on a PC flawlessĪnd also, recording VHS tapes is illegal, but how many people in the 80's made copies for their family and friends. and I get alot of work done by staying on the machine suited to the task.Īs a former logic and PC user, I was shocked to find out there are people using OS X on a PC,įor less then you can buy an apple, you can build yourself a PC running OS X on PC fully loaded. i keep them seperate and their responsibilities seperate as well. While can build a better PC for less than 700 dollars (940 with 22' monitor) For the extra 150 bucks I dont have to bang my head on the keyboard nightly because I hacked my OS.įWIW, I run both at home. does all your hardware work in the virtual environment? I hope you got a pack of nerds to hammer out low level hardware driver issues as well because while osx may be hacked into running on a PC. That said, searches for the keywords above will produce you what you need to break the law.

This makes any version of osx running in VMware ILLEGAL. Apple has refused to condone a license to the makers of VMware. While some versions of VMware are completely free. The best shot at having OSX on a non-apple computer is running a virtual environment (like VMware).

Instead of telling you impossible, I'll tell you what i know.
