Will the real Jep please stand up.... who is Jep? Torsten, do you know about http://www.hackintosh.com Somebody I know is running the OSX stack under a VM on a Windows machine. This person said they made the image himself, and referred to it as hackintosh, I googled and found the above site. However, my own opinion is that someone using macs should buy you a mac, just to offset of the costs that you have into this project.
