With a free program called Flyakite OSX (http://osx.portraitofakite.com/) I was able to do this to my Windows computer

Firstly, it's a hack. OS X's license doesn't allow you to install on non-Apple hardware. So it's tricky, unsupported and not particularly legal.

You can read a bit more about it on the Osx86 (http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showforum=85) forum or on Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OSx86), if you're interested.

While I'm not a developer, it is interesting what Apple will give you by becoming one and what can be done to the os. I used to "fiddle" with Linux (got started back at 0.14r9 and am now running 2.6.24). Some of us would love to see Apple pursue the PC market now that they are running on Intel processors (I prefer AMDs).

I agree. I don't trust Apple as far as I can throw them, but anything which helps bring more variety back to what has become a very drab Windows-dominated OS landscape would be good.

I think Apple are pretty married to their hardware lock-in business model, though. It's worked really well for them. It's the reason why their systems are perceived as being reliable and stable.

It can't be more of a gray area than the copy of windows running on my computer. Volume license copy, no idea where it came from.

Actually..if you read the disclaimer, it says you can't run it on non-Apple LABELED hardware.

So buy an Apple label and slap it on there. :D
