MAC on a Windows platform?

Liam · 05-11-2008, 01:14 AM

I literally HATE Vista now... I'm sick of it. It's so buggy and I just wanna get rid of it. I could downgrade back to MCE but I'm starting to get bored of Microsoft as a whole and wondered if I'd be able to install Mac onto my Windows laptop? or will I need a Macbook?

It is a direct violation of Apples Terms to install a mac os on anything other than a mac system. so yes, you will need a mackbook or other apple computer. but, you can get linux, and customize it to look/feel/function simalerly to OSX.

You can buy a macbook and install windows on it but it's illegal to install Mac OS on a windows based laptop - i found that out in my own thread about this... but many people to it

You are still pushing the rules way too much! Mods will be here anytime to cancel this one just as the same thing that happened last time someone posted crap about this.

Why such problems with Vista? I have no problems at all and im loving Vista! If you cant get Vista to run right than thats your prob and not Vista's fault! LOL

One huge problem with Hackintosh if thats want u wanted to do is updates

One update can mess the whole thing up

If doing this put onto a different HDD then your other OS
