Hackers Made OS X Runs On PC

Hackers and curious computer users this week have been downloading the tweaked Mac OS X for PCs, nicknamed “OSx86,” from several websites connected to the BitTorrent file-distribution system.

OSx86 is designed to run on Apple Computer’s next generation of hardware, which some call “MacIntels” and others “MacTels” because the machines will run on Intel microprocessors rather than the PowerPC processor used in current Macs. The hacked version of OSx86 is based on pirated software, which came from copies of the operating system sent to participants in the Apple Developer Connection. The ADC participants also received MacIntel computers for testing and development.

Now the hacked version of OSx86 is running on Dell laptops and other PCs with Intel and AMD microprocessors.

    hmm.. mac on pc is quite an old story, earlier they have mac running on pc with pear. but if this one runs solely on pc without 3rd party program, that would be great. hopefully it does run faster.

    Mac OS on PC? That sounds too great.
    But most people still use Windows, I’ll at least stick to Windows for the next 12 months…..

    It’s still from a developer’s version, even if you have it installed natively on PC, it still lacks features from a mac.. correct me if I’m wrong. If you’re thinking of replacing XP for good, then you might wanna give it a second thought..

    Sounds really great to be able to run Mac OS on PC.

    But in actual fact it’s very difficult and technical if you read the instructions. Definitely not for the layman.
