Unix will run on PC hardware, and Macs are now based on Intel

Or so I'm told.
no, you can't; a few configurations of Windows hardware can be made to
run Mac OS X (google "hackintosh"), but not by "installing unix and
laying Mac OS X on top of it"
but the converse situation works very well -- for the last five years or
so any Mac has been capable of running Windows handily in one of two
ways: the built-in (free) Boot Camp allows booting the system into
Windows when desired, or (my preference) using one of the virtualization
tools -- VMWare, Parallels, or Virtual Box (the latter is free) Windows
can run simultaneously with Mac OS X; i do this frequently with Win2000
and periodically with XP Win7 and various Linux flavors
I'm also told there's a Windoze emulator for Unix that will allow the
Windoze version of PHotoshop to run on Unix.
it's called Wine, most Linux users are already well enough aware of its
pros and cons
