    Mac Tiger OS X 10.x on PC?

    I was cruizing around the net looking for some information on macitrashes since I want to familiarize myself with OS X and ran accross this web page. It claims you can install OS X on a PC by following some steps so I'm going to give it a try and see what happens. Has anyone else tried this?

    I hope it works because it really bothered me that Mac's can run Win XP nativly now. We should be able to run there stuff too :D Nothing wrong with people having more options.

    I know someone who tried it. He had to use an emulator to be able to run Mac OS X. Only problem was that his computer became insanely slow.

    new versions of mac OS are compiled for intel hardware, so the slow emulation problem is now gone. you just have to have the right hardware, and the list is very small

    works fine... i didnt have any problems installing it and running it... it was kinda fun to do actually... i've always liked OSX (even tho i primarily use windows for my desktop needs) since it's backend is based largely on FreeBSD which I love with all my heart. hehe

    basically if you have an intel chipset you have a chance of it working, if not.. no chance.

    I think I'm going to give it a try. I think it would be cool to duel boot WinXP and OS X :)
