I tried to install osx on my hp compaq, i tried leo4all, iatkos and other stuff, it was slow running, sound didnt work, resolution was very poor ultimately a bad experience. So i sold it and bought a mac! (much better)

I'm glad to see Psystar having to pay Apple.

Nobody really buys Apple computers any how.

icarly they use pear pc a Pear PC is the Mac OS running on a standard PC

Google "Pear PC" , "OS86", and Hackintosh ...

A Pear PC is a hacked computer...

I would rather use Linux Ubuntu or Linux Mint or one of the 1,000 of free distributions ... but that's just me.

There is tons tons of ways out there to run Mac OS on standard PC's I've even ran Mac OS in VMware as well, and Linux has ways to hack Mac OS as well.

You retard!

They aldready have chipsets that prevents non apple hardware. But they will be hacked! Hacking is the future. If I would like to use the the Apple OSX install disc as a toaster I should be able to do it! I bought it..it's mine.

Mac OS X may run better on a PC but thats down to specs. A mac is not the same on a PC and Apple hardware is by far the best hardware I have ever owned. Apple offer good standard products and they don't settle for less. Like Dell for instance, okay they sell some pretty nice laptops, or have at least in the past, but their build quality isn't as good as Apple. Dell often feel quite flimsy, Mac's dont. Id still buy a Mac if OS X was on PC's. simply because of their design, as others would im sure

you wouldn't be that glad if you didn't already had a Mac with OS X on it :).

[VitDavide17]

OS X runs on some PC's by mistake, there are also the OSX86 projects that i tried out myself, Mac is even better on a PC. Also, Apple only wants to sell it's hardware, and the biggest feature it has is that the OS "can't run" on other hardware. Without that, nobody would buy Mac's.

[hazman1231]

I'd hate it if OS X was run on PC's. It would crush Apple and nobody would buy Apple Laptops, but instead buy PC's and install OS X. Apple could code their OS to not support PC hardware, or to require a special chip etc.. but then hackers will get past this. However, I think what apple could do is create their own HD thats designed specifically to only fit into computers they make, and make an OS X that only runs on these kind of hard drives. I think this could work?

i think the osxi86 project is a bit of  harmless geeking that has been abused by psystar..sad to say. im not a fan of apple but they make a fine computer...

[theraytex]

first real computer 1973...-mouse qwerty keybord+[gui]+lan made by xerox and copied {ha} by every -one. other point --xerox were forced by the FTC to licience its patent portfolio to its compedetors !!!! resulting in a market drop of 86%...

will apple be forced down the same road -I dont think so ...as for psystar -they could build ther own linux based - hardware spacific pcs ----for office or studio ....and offer full support...

Great video Dave, psystar aggravates me to no end! They stole almost all of the code they use to get OS X to run on there computers from the OSx86 project. I'm glad apple sued there asses!

Enlighten me then.
