Can you? Yes. You can run one Windows natively, and other OSes as virtual machines. Is it against the rules to discuss the Mac OSX part on here? Yes. | My System Specs | | OS Windows 7 Ultimate x64 SP1 CPU Intel Core i7-2600 Motherboard Gigabyte GA-P67A-UD3P-B3 Memory 12 GB Patriot Extreme DDR3-1333 Graphics Card Nvidia GTX 470 Monitor(s) Displays Dell UltraSharp 2209WA PSU OCZ ModStream 700W Case CoolerMaster HAF 912 Advanced Cooling CoolerMaster Hyper 212 Plus Hard Drives OCZ Agility3 240 GB, WD5001AALS, WD7501AALS |

You don't owe me or anyone an apology, and I didn't mean to scare you off. It's against Apple's licensing to install OSX on a non-Apple computer, and at least a computer that Steve Jobs has hugged and smiled upon. If these forums allowed those discussions, Apple would try to shut them down. | My System Specs | | OS Windows 7 Ultimate x64 SP1 CPU Intel Core i7-2600 Motherboard Gigabyte GA-P67A-UD3P-B3 Memory 12 GB Patriot Extreme DDR3-1333 Graphics Card Nvidia GTX 470 Monitor(s) Displays Dell UltraSharp 2209WA PSU OCZ ModStream 700W Case CoolerMaster HAF 912 Advanced Cooling CoolerMaster Hyper 212 Plus Hard Drives OCZ Agility3 240 GB, WD5001AALS, WD7501AALS |

So if I buy the OS,is still illegal to install it on my PC? | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number AMD Athlon 64x2 dual core 4400+ OS Windows 7 Enterprise x64 CPU 2,3GHz Motherboard ASUS Memory 2GB DDR2 Graphics Card ATI Radeon HD 2400 Sound Card Realtek Monitor(s) Displays Benq G900W Screen Resolution 1440x900 Hard Drives 160 GB |

Plus the fact is, I don't know if you could run MacOSX on non-Apple hardware without some serious illegal activity or perhaps using VMWare. I don't believe that Win 7's Virtualization allows for other OS either.
Actually, I think VMWare would work within OSX, but again, you have to use a literal Mac to run OSX. I know one person who has run other flavors of Windows on his Mac using VMWare Fusion, but I believe that was within OSX as it's core OS is a Linux based system. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Alienware Area 51 Desktop and Dell Inspirion 17R (N7010) OS Windows 7 Ultimate x64 and Home Premium x64 CPU Intel i7 960 (3.2 GHz Quad Core) Motherboard Alienware Intel based X58 Memory 12 Gigs (Triple Channel) Graphics Card Alienware OEM nVidia GTX 560 Ti (1.25 Gig) Sound Card Creative Labs X-Fi Titanium Monitor(s) Displays Samsung PX2370 LED 23" Monitor Screen Resolution 1920x1080 Keyboard Logitech G510 Mouse Microsoft Trackball Explorer PSU 750 Watt Power Supply Case Alienware Area 51 Desktop Cooling Liquid Cooled Hard Drives 2 320 Gig SATA in Raid 1 Configuration (System/App)

I don't want to make it the illegal way,but if it doesn't work it's ok. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number AMD Athlon 64x2 dual core 4400+ OS Windows 7 Enterprise x64 CPU 2,3GHz Motherboard ASUS Memory 2GB DDR2 Graphics Card ATI Radeon HD 2400 Sound Card Realtek Monitor(s) Displays Benq G900W Screen Resolution 1440x900 Hard Drives 160 GB |

Apple wouldn't be in business if they didn't have their huge marked up on hardware. You can get it to run on a PC, and some siple Googling will prove that, along with instructions, but it does involve modifying the OS...which is also against the EULA. | My System Specs | | OS Windows 7 Ultimate x64 SP1 CPU Intel Core i7-2600 Motherboard Gigabyte GA-P67A-UD3P-B3 Memory 12 GB Patriot Extreme DDR3-1333 Graphics Card Nvidia GTX 470 Monitor(s) Displays Dell UltraSharp 2209WA PSU OCZ ModStream 700W Case CoolerMaster HAF 912 Advanced Cooling CoolerMaster Hyper 212 Plus Hard Drives OCZ Agility3 240 GB, WD5001AALS, WD7501AALS |
