OSX on a pc

[Vtwinkidd]

I was curious, now that there are intel macs running Osx with Rossetta. Can I install OSX on my old P3 1ghz laptop?

Short answer, no.. not legally.

You technically could with something like Pear, but it's illegal and it won't run very well anyway.

You're confused. OS X is natively running on Intel Macs. Rosetta is there so you can run PPC applications on Intel Macs.

That had nothing to do with running OS X on PC boxes.

Running it on a Windows based laptop... bit of a no go. Its been done with hacks, but it is illegal

Yes it is possible, I made the mistake of linking to a group of Think Pad users who had done it, but the moderators had to remove the link because it is, as a previous poster quite rightly pointed out, illegal.

Technically possible, but illegal.

I also think every time Apple role out a software update it would just cause problems. Overall not worth it.
