Probably not a popular topic here. OS X on non-Apple hardware is frowned upon by loyal Mac users, of which there are some here. There’s a reason for that, of which first-hand experience is the only way to truly understand it.

.... huh?

coolfactor is right about this not being a good place (paraphrasing) to talk about such things. Last time I checked, it wasn’t “okay” to run OSX on anything other than Apple hardware.

Ok, here’s some education….

1. Just because they have a wiki, doesn’t make it legal or right.
2. Running OSX on a PC is like putting a £4,000 outfit on a hobo… they’re still a hobo inside.
3. When you come to the pearly gates for judgement, it’ll be steve jobs handing out the heaven or hell cards.

Go to apple.com, buy a mac, then educate yourself all you want.

They’re worth every penny… which is more than I can say for Vista!

By the way, wildcard, did Linus ever mention where he goes for the free sex?

I switched to Mac really recently, after really having very little experience with it.  There are still a few things here and there that I find awkward (almost entirely related to not having experience) but on the whole I’m really, really happy.

If you’re wanting a new box, and debating getting vista or a Mac… just go for it. smile
