Without using the anti virus create another partion thingy.
Is it possible to install Mac OSX 10 basicly from the disc and it wont overwrite vista?;)

Example: You have windows 2000 then your installing XP on it. It gives you 2 options.

1.Keep Current OS and install XP
2.Overwrite current OS and install XP.

OMG i didn't know antiviruses can partition hard drives...lolz

Woops, you can't install Tiger or Leopard on a regular PC, it's ILLEGAL and by all means against apple EULA.
But google is your friend and you can also visit INSANELY MAC
buy a real Mac, use bootcamp to dual boot
 
Tough luck really, Apple state in EULA (if you even read them) that you must only install OS-X on Apple-branded hardware, now what this is can be a bit confusing but it's definately none of the kit you have.
 
The legality of it is questionable, but I wouldnt let that detour you. There are a lot of communities that will help you get it working, sadly, it will only turn into a war if you try to find answers to that here.
 
Ya you can do it.

Just type in your question to google and youll find forums which tell you all about hacking and cracking and exploiting programs. theres a lot of those forums.

no the legality is that it is illegal. Just go buy a Mac, it will run OS X better than a PC will with the hacked version.

I am not trying to be bossy far from it. I could care less what you do in your free time with software. I am only saying that to protect the forum from any legal issues supporting or helping support illegal softwares is all.
 
I had a similar question. Because the schools where i'm interning at now all use Mac's, I want to get my hands on the OS so I can help out more then I can now.

Does anyone know if it's easier/possible at all to set up a virtual machine to use the new Mac OS on top of Vista?

You can't. Apple does not allow VMs (yes I know how retarded this is) of OS X. I really wish they did because it would make my life as a Macintosh Admin a whole lot easier if I could have VMs of OS X.

This goes back to the hacked version of OS X. Which we can't discuss on this forum, and from what I hear it kind of runs like crap compared to having it run on a Mac. If you really want to learn OS X, you can always get like a mini off of ebay fairly cheap.

That's the real problem, Apple is acting against the public interest because if they sold OSX as a stand-alone product, just about every Mac-loving geek in the land (including myself) would have it. Thing is, how do they get away with it when the core of it is the BSD kernel, which is open source?

The GNU and the GPL licenses are different, you can take open source code, make a product with it and choose not to share the source depending how it is published. They leave it that way so open source can make money. There are pay for Linux distros all over (enterprise suse, enterprise redhat, etc) which are very good distros and way more stable and have way better support, but you have to pay for a license. The other route is DIY open source distros which have more bugs and you rely on the community for support, not IT professionals like the pay for distros.

Though I understand that Apple only wants their OS to be install on their hardware because it is a closed platform. Thus, they have way more quality control over their product. The reason why OS X is so much more stable than windows is that they develop it specifically for their hardware, and on top of that they design their hardware. So, really they design everything from the ground up, which gives them a higher quality control over their technology.

I don't care if apple never releases a universal version of OS X that can be installed on any PC. I have Macs, and I have PCs so that doesn't matter to me. I do however really want a virtual machine of OS X. I am starting to use casper to make snap shots of software installs and then make network deployable packages and installing them via group policy and it is awesome. If I had a VM, I could make a VM of the base image and every time I wanted to make a new package just do it off the VM and be done with it.

One of these days they will come around, they just need to get more market share. You realize Apple only accounts for like 6% of the world market share.

I tried using virtual box on xp... the installation didnt start.... the vm crashed...

I tried to install it directly on my pc, but I don't have a usb keyboard, so the program doesn't detect my mouse (wich IS usb) nor my ps2 keyobard... that's odd....

there was a distro , i think DreamLinux or so, i couldn't boot it at all.
I don't think virtual box is any good or stable in y opinion :(

ubuntu should be ok, you need to know that dream is a far cry from ubuntu and also, you will NEVER be able to boot Mac OS in a vm, there are ways but i ain't gonna say anything related to it :P
