Let's talk about OS X... on your PC.
A few patched ISOs of Apple's OS X Tiger have been floating around torrent sites for a while now. They let you install Tiger on non-Mac hardware and not in a virtualization/emulation application either. OS X will install directly on to your hard drive and run from there.
http://thepiratebay.org/tor/3612263/...E3_incl._PPF1_ I've used the ISO from that torrent to install and dual boot (!) Tiger and Windows XP on the same machine. The downside to this is that OS X is incredibly picky about the hardware you use. There are lists here. Keep in mind that they are not anywhere near complete. Links to a couple guides: http://wiki.osx86project.org/wiki/in...#10.4.8_Guides http://wiki.osx86project.org/wiki/index.php/HCL_10.4.8 http://wiki.osx86project.org/wiki/in....4.8/Portables http://wiki.osx86project.org/wiki/in...0.4.8/Desktops My specs are: Intel Core2 Duo E6600 Intel D975XBX motherboard Corsair 2GB DDR2-800 Sapphire Radeon X1900XT 256MB Creative Sound Blaster Audigy4 Samsung 160GB SATA2 Logitech DiNovo keyboard/G5 mouse All of my hardware was recognized properly except the video and sound card. There are no official or 3rd party drivers for the Creative products. I'm also having a hard time trying to install the onboard SigmaTel drivers as well. :/ The ATI driver installed easier than in Windows XP :P This forum is full of 3rd party apps and drivers to make things work: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php? I really can't believe how stable this is. I've been able to do everything, so far, without a hitch (Parallels, Virtue, Photoshop) The nicest thing about the install is that it's FAST. Loads in under 30 seconds from POST to desktop. The downsides? Like I mentioned, not all hardware is compatible. You can't update your OS unless there's a specific 3rd party package released.

Yeah, since Apple really only builds drivers for the hardware they ship, this can be an iffy affair.
There's nowhere I can't reach.
killmoms - Well, don't really.

Looks really interesting. Can't get the files to try it out myself, but amazing what is going on with all this the past year.
This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. |
