OS Question

This may be a stupid question, but I truly am not sure.

If I build my own computer, through newegg or what not, could I load Mac's Snow Leopard OS instead of windows or linux? Is there any reason I can't

That would be illegal, but it is possible. Look up OSx86 for more details.
 
How is it illegal?

There is a company right now that is doing it, not sure how, but they are in court and are winning because they found some loop hole.

apples uela says that you cant install mac on a non apple computer thus making it illegal. but like i said it is possible, although it usually isn't worth the hassle because it's said to be pretty buggy.

oh and pystar kinda lost
 
ok thank you.

Oh did they lose? last time i read, they were going back to court.

This thread it done, thanks again. :good:
 
Even if it were legal, which it's not, you'd have to build a computer with specific hardware for the OS and all the peripherals to work, because Mac OSX has specific drivers tailored to specific hardware.
