Leopard on a "Normal" Pc ?

I'm finding some issues: some apps fail, running under VESA, no Airport support. But, other than that, I'm finding the experience very pleasing. Certainly smoother than XP. Imagine that.

If I can get these issues ironed out, I'll definitely buy that license.

The trouble is that, after you've used MacOS X on a regular PC for a bit, you'll almost certainly end up buying a Mac... It's quite a cunning strategy by Apple... See if you can figure out how they did it :-)

Nowadays, the only reason why I do not have a mac, is that I cannot afford it. When I am finished studying, and got myself a job, I'll buy a nice slimline macintosh laptop, I think, or a big desktop  macintosh to use as a media-centre/emulator/productivity machine. Really, nowadays we can, again, use the computer without Microsoft. :-)

companies can claim and order anything they want in a eula. they always put the disclaimer in that some or all of this eula may not apply to you. they can claim anything they want knowing that there is no way to enforce it.

btw the eula is not a fully legally enforced document. you dont sign an agreement. and people under 18 can legaly install an os courts would make a distinction between a legal document and an agreement such as this.

@ monami

do you need to run a virus scanner though?

Not yet, but then I've only just been trying it for a few days. Once I'm convinced I can use it, I'll probably spring for one.

Are you kidding? :-) I would have bought a Mac years ago but for the overpriced hardware. Crap, even after M$ decided to stick me in the shorts, I was hesitant to spring for an Intel based Mac. But then that's what eventually led me to find the OSx86 project: M$ denying me a license to the software I rightfully paid for...

I actually see it the other way around, just as IBM lost the PC market to clone manufacturers, this is another crack in the door that (I hope) will force Apple to reopen to their clone market.

But then, I've always considered Apple closing that particular door to be anything but smart.
