And, what's the point? If Dell choose to build hardware close to apple's, that's either a good sign for apple, or a bad sign for apple or a good sign for dell or a bad sign for dell...
Still, running macos on non-apple hw is illegal... And, there's even an additional point in the licenese somewhere, afaik: macos is not allowed to be run virtualized, except in macos server edition... I might remeber that wrongly... And, as stated a couple minutes ago: you can add the needed hw-code yourself to vbox, as vbox is mostly opensource... With that, i guess we've beaten the dead horse more than needed...
