Illegal? Yes, as many others stated here. As Apple is talking about only "Branded" hardware should run OSX- go do it and when you´re done get yourself some Apple stickers and stick ´em on your PC case :-)

Again, Agreement != law. Sorry. Are you violating an agreement? Yes, but are you breaking the law? No. those are two separate things. So is it illegal to install OSX on a PC? NO it isn't.

haha thats a very good point, we will also have to wait and see where the new lawsuit is going that just popped up a few days ago by pystar? i think was the company cant remember at the moment... but its a lawsuit against apple for monopoly... it has to do with this very subject on how only mac OS can only be installed on they're hardware... i dunno its worth following i guess, if you want to be "Legal" pshh...

[JedixJarf]

Yes it is, even if you own a licensed retail copy it is breaking the law.

@h4ry why did you put your ipod and iphone on top of your computer? i dont think anybody cares that you have 2 other apple products.

What an A-hole.

Apple shouldnt do a thing about these hackintosh OS's as Apple want people to move from the easily configurable and customizable PC to the locked up tighter than a dolphins butt Mac. If they want more users then let this happen so others can see what MacOSX can do and if they like it they will buy a Mac. I'm on of the users that cant afford an expensive crappy computer that cant do what I want it to do so I wont get one anyway. I'm just a tinkerer of different OS's so I've tried just about all OS's out there and also I'm a gamer so nothing is better than a PC.

So, as for the legality of hackintosh, I think its illegal but they wont stop you as long as you go and buy a Mac or delete it after you've checked it out.

Windows can do a LOT more than a Mac can do but if you want to check out MACOSX without the high price tag then go ahead and install it.

You're wrong. It isn't just an agreement. It is a legally binding agreement. Read this. Yes it is Australian. But you can bet that the same general principles will apply to the U.S. too.

Take a swing at that. (provided your graphics card has 512MB VRAM)

I still use Windows for using my TV card (it's PCI-based) and a few other video/DVD-related things. I am playing one game on my Windows side right now, and this is really ironic, so don't bash me too hard -- Marathon. But it is nice having both operating systems handy on the same machine.

My Hackintosh keeps stalling and a grey screen curtain telling me to hold on to the power button and restart keeps happening.

Can I fix this?

Can I update my Hach OSX leopard?
