    I'm doing this too now. Look up Iatkos. I am using v2.0i but I think 4.0 is out. Seems simple enough and I haven't screwed up too bad yet. I have OSX going fine at this point and I'm gonna try and get Vista going again tonight on a separate partition. Check out this guide. What I'm following for now.

    just buy a mac if you want osx, its harder to put osx on windows than it is to put vista on osx, I have dual boot on my macbook and it was somewhat easy, i dont know how it works on a windows machine, just make sure you set your partition high enough

    ummm well there are a couple of ways best is to partition and burn the iso to a disk and install. Other ways include using a program like vmware to run it through vista.

    I'm all for trying new stuff but... why are we helping someone who is clearly using warez? Unless Apple distributes stuff through torrents now.

    I'm a helpful jerk, fear me.

    I must say, a Mac is not a Mac on an Acer, or any other non Apple hardware. Good luck with switching from vista to OSX. Here's a hint, there isn't the CTRL ATL END key combination your must be used to.

    I can tell you're going to have some problems, just from that fact your download Tiger. The latest release is 10.5.4
