There objection to the hackintosh is "We won't support it, or update
it. you will also be black listed for apple products. if you even ask
them to go near it.". So they rest easy on that note.
Now for windows running under or on mac hardware. It runs better then
under pc proven fact.

I heard about that.
apple made a bit of fuss a bit late in the game to say they were not
happy about it but it didn't stay up there for long, and my guess is
they were annoyed enough to put up a small objection but not to much really.

>>Hi Shaun,
>>These days with software like Boot Camp that's not altogether
true. There are ways of having the best of both worlds. It is just
that many Windows users don't know about them so they are afraid to
invest in a Mac or Linux system believing as you do that they have
to give up all their Windows games and favorite applications to go
Mac or Linux. While it is certainly true the majority of software
is specifically designed for Windows with the availability of
virtual machines that is more an annoyance than a serious problem
for a Mac or Linux user.
>>For example, if you were to purchase a brand new Intel based
MacBook with Mac OS 10.6you would get the standard Mac OS operating
system complete with the VoiceOver screen reader, ITunes media
player, Safari web browser, and all the rest of the common Mac
applications. If you then wanted your Windows applications you can
install Windows XP on that machine via Boot Camp and run Windows XP
as a virtual machine. That way you can keep all your games, and
other important Windows software too. Running Windows under a
virtual machine is a tad bit slower than running it natively of
course, but it is the best solution available to us currently. The
upside though is you can still use Mac OS as your primary
operating system and boot into Windows to access stuff you would
otherwise not be able to use.
>>With Linux these days there are multiple solutions to choose from. If
>>you wanted to try out the base operating system without
formatting your hard drive you can run Ubuntu Linux directly off
the cd. It runs slower, but it does allow someone to run Linux
without making any changes to Windows. Other solutions involve
installing it to a USB thumb drive and booting from that, or you
can just stick the Ubuntu cd in your computer and do a quick and
easy multiboot setup from Windows directly. You can use a
third-party solution such as VM Ware which allows you to install
Windows as a virtual machine under Linux. Either way you decide to
do it you can easily run both while not giving up anything in the
process. Bottom line, there are ways to run Windows along side your
operating system of choice to have the best of both worlds. It need
not be a one or the other situation.
