Mac OS X Running on Non-Apple Hardware

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the mac-of-borg dept.

MacBeliever writes "Inevitably, Mac OS X for x86 has been hacked to run on a non-Apple PC. Is this the beginning of the fulfillment of the Dvorak prophecy?" RetrogradeMotion also writes "The OSx86 Project has posted a how-to guide telling how to run OS X on any Windows or Linux-based PC using VMWare." Not 100% corroborated, so ingest with salt.

    I totally agree. Fake wood inlays on the dashboard are critical to the overall functioning of the vehicle.
