Wasn't this very subject just on the latest (16 April) Mac Break Weekly
podcast? I thought they had said that the ula wasn't "THAT" inforceable. I
need to go back and give it a listen... Was distracted by my year and a
half old daughter who wanted to play :smile: and she always wins out over
whatever computer stuff I might be doing at the time. But what little I did
hear it was something like these two guys made a computer, not a good
computer but a no-name computer and put Leopard on it and there was this
whole big thing about you aren't meant to put Leopard on anything other than
an Apple product... But there was some sort of loophole or something. I
don't know, they sort of segwayed into some rambeling banter about security
at this point and I didn't pay strict mind to whatever it was... N-ways if
anyone wants to hear all this you can get the podcast on iTunes or I don't
know if you can get it any place else but it is called Mac Break Weekly and
is pretty interesting...

Subject: Re: Leopard on a Pcvour to ask please. a prayer or two.
the hack is highly illegal and is in serious breach of apple's copyright
law, developer code laws and patent issues. apple I am sure will
willingly sue the company. in fact it is not a company. it is a couple of
fraudsters attempting to defraud apple and screw with people.
do not attempt any mac OS tiger or leopard intel install on a windows
based system even with the modification files. this in some cases can
cause serious damage to the system concerned. not only that but the
hardware which apple uses differes completely from a windows PC.
I request therefore that this issue not to be discussed further on this
list as it is not the intention of the list to promote unlawful actions
with apple authorised software and products and any reverse engineering

the mac os will not run on any windows architecture PC because there is
a security component built into OSX with any intel board
configuration. on the macintosh board there are two chips which keep
the operating system and run it with an instant security check. these
are the EFI chip and the secure buffer chip. these make sure that
when the system boots it is in a safe condition.
on a windows PC you have a bios chip which is completely different to
EFI. BIOS is a general hardware config setup that does not use a
firmware ROM of sorts so can handle anything. but because of the
security issue and the lack of EFI and secure chips, the installer will
not find them thereby creating a boot message on the pc saying /apple
component-secure CHC not found
will the fail the install

I don't think leopard would work on a windows machine, because the mac
has a completely diferent opperating system.
Someone with more technological no how would be able to tell you for
sure, but I really doubt it would work.

Hi guys:
I'm wondering if Leopard would work on a regular PC and if any of you
are running it on one. I don't have funds for a MAC, but I might be
able to get Leopard. what do you think?
