Some of the hackers are running the tweaked version of the operating system on their PCs natively." Pardon my skepticism ;)

I have heard that GNAA is trying to troll the P2P networks with an OSX_x86 torrent. Just a heads-up to anyone, prepare to be disappointed.

Mod me as a troll if you wish but I speak the truth. Perhaps that is not very popular around here.
The fact remains that prices of OS X and bundled applications are relatively low compared to their MSFT/Windows Third-party counterparts. This is due to the fact that the development of that software is subsidized by hardware purchases.
Apple does not care if you upgrade from Puma, Jaguar or Panther to Tiger as long as you are installing on hardware that is compatible with it.
They also do not enforce any form of copy protection to prevent you from installing on multiple machines because the "trust" users. That is a different philosophy from how MSFT does business.
These actions are a spit in the face of that very same company that not only trusts its users but also contributes to open source projects.
