Is it possible on non-Apple hardware?... a google search says "yes" (technically), by building a hackintosh. But we all know that in the professional world we must follow the rules. For personal use, most web sources suggest that the nerdly exercise of hackintosh building should be limited to that, a learning exercise, and not be started without first buying OS X from an Apple retailer. They also state that the resulting non-apple machine should not be used for any kind of professional work when running OS X. Depending on the machine, reviews vary about the level of compatibility, but many hobbyists report that it works better than you might think. I am in no way suggesting that you consider it because it would violate the EULA. It makes me wonder however, what would happen if Microsoft suddenly decided to legally demand that their OS run on anything BUT Apple hardware. Wouldn't that be a hoot? ~Roger Eller
