Well, the truth as I understand it that you simply can NOT run OS X on a PC/bios based Intel computer. At least not without modifying "stuff". The further away one gets from a Mac platform in terms of the components of the PC the more stuff there is which needs to be modified. To run on a Pentium 4 system you're talking at least about modifications to the kernel, which IMO is a rather big step away from a so-called "vanilla" install. I believe that a Hackintosh will never be a Mac in that it will always be more a hobby than tool. It's better suited to folks who like to play with their computer as much or more than actually use it. I doubt a Hackintosh will ever be appropriate for any Mac user for whom one of the things they like most about a Mac is that they never have to think about it, they can just use it. If you want your PC to be an appliance, then you definitely do NOT want a Hackintosh, at least IMHO. I've always assumed this is a major reason why Apple doesn't go out of its way to eliminate Hackintoshs created by individuals. It's not pertinent (enough). The effort to squash it would be more bother than benefit to the corporate bottom line. At least for now. -irrational john -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
