Ha*cked Mac OS X runs on PC

[gameboy]

Imagine if your next Mac cost you only $300, and ran faster than any G4 or G5 you've ever used.

That future may already be unfolding: Hackers have found a way to bypass a chip designed to prevent the Mac OS from running on non-Apple PCs, which are often cheaper than Macs.

Any OS will run on any PC (with adequate speed and mem) even in a virtual window,I do it all the time,I have tried the Mac OS and its OK but I get by with 2000 as my root OS and run Linux and DOS as VM's exclusivly as Linux has too many bugs to go as root system.
The hacked Mac10 OS is widely available as a Torrent and about 1.3 gigs as downloaded and 6 gigs as a bootable ISO file and runs fine in a VM window under Win2000.

Surely running under Virtual Machine must carry a heavy overhead ?

Yes, but the h*cked OS runs native!

I have seen it running and it's just superb - wonder how many PC user will try it and love it?

You can have a dual boot machine.

Use VPC here and it runs just great as well - dual processor Mac can handle it no problems - as fast as the PC I use at work.

Hi
ROLWF and gang! the overhead is exactly what you make it when creating the VM and Yes,this will run from the HD as native too Im just running the iso.file from a VM and no its not slow if you give it the CPU/MEM it needs.
These are OS's so really you would give the one you were using most the most computer,the thing is that you dont have to even install it to run it this way in a VM. I have ran just about all of them in VM's from iso files with no problems crashing or drivers because it will grab a driver from the root OS if needed. Its really fun to play with.Im running VMware Workstation 5 and its stable as a rock and has handled everything from DR-DOS to Linux and Tiger Mac 10 (X)OS. VMware will also let you actually install a guest OS on the hard drive if you choose,handy if you find one you want to keep..

hi all

kalamar one of your posts indicated my ip address and isp etc and said patch that operating system up. i thought it was, so do i need something else to protect my system? i have seen this sort of freely available info before on sites that detect your ip etc but how do you stop this information getting out unless you want it to? You obviously are running some kind of script to do this in your post , very clever

maybe you should be using peerguardian?
