@Rishi Sorry to disturb your wait. its actually here.
@ Vijay There is actually a project going online called the OSX86 project. It has been started by developers who wanted to develop Apps for the App Store but were dissapointed since Apple requires developers to develop Apps only through Mac computer. Since developers did not want to invest in Macs, they started this "open source" project called OSX86 project which modifies the EFI (successor to BIOS) of PCs from PC vendors in order to enable the EFI to boot the Mac OSX CD and thereafter to execute the installation of OSX onto the hard drive as is usually done. However, you must remember this is not illegal as long as you use the purchased retail CD of OSX of Leopard or Snow Leopard. There is a grey area where Apple insists that the OS should be loaded on Apple computers but as per laws across the world - it is a restrictive trade practice akin to the Microsoft Windows / Netscape / Explorer saga seen during last decade and Apple's contention may not be sustainable in any court. Again, it may be illegal after a US court in November 2009 barred Psystar and Pearc from commercially exploiting this. On January 14, 2009, the Gadget Lab site of Wired Magazine posted a video tutorial for installing Mac OS X on an MSI Wind netbook, but removed it following a complaint from Apple. Hence Apple has been trying is cripple such efforts with every OS update but the developers keep on raising the bar thereafter. This cat and mouse game is going to continue and I do not see the OSX project declining in the near future. From the developers point of view, the project is complex because every brand of PC has a different EFI and hence the Installer enabler changes with each brand and sometimes each model. But broadly the most enablers are seen working either with MSI chipsets (because most netbooks are sourced from MSI- project is called MSI WInd) and Dell (because its the number 1 PC vendor in the US). This project is not for the faint hearted and fanboys. I dont recommend anyone here to do this unless its for learning and you have a lot of time to do that. Also do not do this on a commercial basis because of legal issues with Apple. The installation process is a learning in itself. It involves a lot of time on the Terminal including changing permissions, modifying the system EFI and modifying extensions. There is lot of time spent in posting your issues on the relevant forums and waiting for someone somewhere to help you. Of course, there are thousands out there to help you. There are serious issues after installation of the OS. The main issues are related to drivers or extensions as it is called in Mac OS specially for sound, bluetooth, AirPort, ethernet, trackpad, iSight and sleep. There are often cases of systems experiencing kernel panics, processor task loops, fan control and processor overheating since the hardware is not properly recognised and adapted by the OS. However, despite this many people (in thousands) are happily running there daily work on such computers.
