PC to Mac OS conversion anyone?

does anyone has the Mac OS Tiger x86 Developer Kit Install DVD or UltraISO 7.6 full version? :smile:
Although all MacOS 10 versions should already be prepared for Intel processors (according to Steve Jobs) there is a problem with the program code that prevents a seamless installation and work on PCs. It seems that the Apple guys want to prevent the MacOS installation on non Apple computers also for the future when Apple runs with Intel.randomharmony said:
The next problem would be the applications. There are only a few that run seamlessly with MacOs on Intel in the developper labs. From what I have heard there are of course some hacks to overcome these problems but I wouldn't dare to do this step unless you are a real expert.
According to this thread on Slashdot it's possible to run OSX on legacy PC hardware.
And according to this article on apple.slashdot there are some problems (DRM, that's what I meant with my previous post).
Not necessarily as off topic is allowed in regional forums but it may be also a good info for the overall off topic (BTW, I just saw that I'm an alien here in this sectionRuss said:

hehehe, thanks for the input guys. the reason i post this on a local forum instead @ off-topic is because I'm the silicon valley! home of computer super whiz (nerds j/k :biggrin: )!
Is silicon valley in the northwest of U.S.? I thought it is in California (but as I said I'm an alien...). Or is California northwest?randomharmony said:
ca nw could be correct. :biggrin:
ok, "the steps" is a little too hardcore for me, but i still love the Mac OS look for my desktop. after a little research, i did the next best thing of not having the conversion: Turn your PC into a Mac. :biggrin:
I've downloaded the Style XP for Men :wink: and Object Dock. It made the desktop look really GREAT, almost like the Mac OS!! This instructions really helped a lot.
I really like it! :smile:
PS, PM me if you need the registration # for Style XP. :wink:

According to the forum listing (limited region-related off-topic OK), off-topic is only proper here if it's region-related, and then only in a limited sense.
Since running OSX on a PC is in no way region-related (Silicon Valley notwithstanding), this thread should be moved to off-topic.
sorry to beat this horse to death but that is a wrong interpretation in my understanding. It says not limited-region-related-off topic, it is:Russ said:
1. limited region-related plus:
2. off topic OK
At least that's how we handle it in the european&international forum but Lud has maybe more precise info on that.
Mac headquater is only 15 min. away from me, :biggrin: and i thought maybe someone locally can give me some insights. hehehe, anyway, point taken, and re-posted in "off-topic".
