Hey,

Mac OS X is not supported on anything other than Apple's Macintosh hardware; "Hackintosh" is the only way on non-Apple hardware.

As for the software, I'm not sure. I know you can download a USB installer from their website, but I haven't tried. Also, that USB installer won't work on your non-Apple hardware directly. You'll have to look at the OSx86 project for more information on turning genuine Mac OS X installer media into "Hackintosh"-compatible media.

Adios,

Alan

I often admire Open Source and Free Software foundations technologists, gurus and volunteers who end up with very expensive Apple products, which in my view are the subject line. Besides Hackintosh, is there any other way to install a full functional MAC OS on any 3rd party laptop/pc? If so, where does one buy the OS CD? Suppose I want to covert my netbook into a MAC mini, can you offer any advice?

This one for the hardcore Apple users and engineers. Shower us with the bits and bytes on MAC OS, iPhone application, iTunes restrictions outside US and Europe.
