Mac OS on pc?

[JamesBart]

is this possible? the reason that i ask is i much prefer the possibilities of a PC and what can be done. i know you can run XP on mac via bootcamp. so could i install a mac OS on a pc? in theory i dont see why not. what issues could accour or problems? thanks.

I think it's illegal, pretty sure MAC OS's are only licensed to run on MAC hardware?

you can run Mac os x on a pc with the program called pearpc: http://pearpc.sourceforge.net/

thanks for the link.

and then is the next obvious step to buy the OS? is this correct?

 

[alexandergre]

you can copy the Mac OS X from another one.
first, test if it works correctly on your computer and post the result here.
do not buy the OS until you are not sure if that will work correctly or not.

i dont understand what you mean by copy? do you mean copy of my MAC OS from my mac to my PC?

I know, apple you could make so much more money by allowing it on to PCs

 

[JamesBart]

yeah it seems that they could make so much more. i think they have terrible machines! they might look nice but i dnt think they cut it tbh! one day!

Mac OS X86 Download it from a torrent if you want it (dont quote me) and you burn it to a DVD and boot it. Make sure you have a lisense to all of the original files, aka have a real Mac OS X Disk.
