Actually, it just might be against the law.

Contract law.

It is against the EULA, the legal contract that would be voided by that very act of installing the OS on a non-Apple computer. That means they sue you for breach of contract and take you to court. You'd be slapped with a hefty fine. If you can't pay, you go to jail.

Bottom line: give it up. It isn't worth it.
