Can Mac be run...

...on a Windows machine.

I always thought not but as you can run Windows in a window on a Mac and a friend just asked me and I wondered?

Can anyone help me out? Using OSX 10.4 I think.

Thanks,

LT

WoW! Thanks. Unfortunately you have to pay but this can be expected for a whole operating system.

Yeh thanks for this!

Interesting. Thanks. Do you know when that project will be finished and how much it costs?

It won't be "finished", it's illegal. And it's free.

What - it's illegal? Oh well I can forget that then. I've always stayed this side of the law and I don't intend to swith. Thanks for pointing this out.

It's only illegal if you get caught. So be sure if you download it at school, you turn sharing. But on a serious note. I thought Mac was working on OS X for intel based systems. I remember seeing the commercials, and all the people was in white jump suits or something. I forget the specifics, but I'm pretty sure they was workign on something along those lines. Also that thing that is illegal, it is only illegal if it's bought buy it self. It said below that it comes packaged with the Apple Development Kit. So you'd have to get the kit to get the program.

Yes they made the move to Intel based processors, however I think there is a chip on the MAC board which prevents you from installing MAC OS on a regular PC

Yup. It's the TPM, described in the link mrynit posted.
