Any idea if its possible to install OS X on a non-apple pc? And if so where to get it.

 

Cheers in advance

Since Apple are now moving to x86 processors for their computers, that means the next Mac OSX version and so on will be compatible with Windows operating systems since they will both share the same processor type.
you could also install osx with either a virtual machine like vmware or even the m$ virtual machine (i have vmware 5.5 and have no complaints). But you do have to dl a special verison of the OSX made for vmware that somebody converted to .vmx since the virtual machine does not run the mac osx natively. ASLo extremetech had made a DIY comp that ran mac osx which was the unreleased version that got leaked onto the internet via torrents. I think this comp had the SPECIFIC SPECS that were needed to run it inlcuding an intell 915 or 925 mobo, pentium 4 proc(any pent 4 will do), and configured so they could dual boot the mac with windows. SInce you proabably dont want to buy the new comp, i would suggest dling vmware and running it there.
what's so great about OS X that you'd want to 'deliberatelly' put it on a machine?..
http://osx.portraitofakite.com/ was the fastest one I could find out of memory. If you don't like that I guess you could take the long way with the Stardock products.

 

 

that just make ur desktop look like osx with themes and icons. he means he actually wants to run OS X on his machine. Try isohunt to get the install image
