For Macs?

Hello

I am considering installing Virtual PC. Can I set it up as a Mac OS X
system, so that I can have a Mac on my XP Pro computer?

Thanks.

Steve

Not easily, and not within the Apple Licensing Agreement.

Re: For Macs?

There are ways to get OSX on a PC, but it's a violation of Apples EULA, it
has been run in VPC but it doesn't run well.

Not really, it runs like crap in VPC - if you can get it to run at all.

It is USUALLY easier to just install OS X directly on your PC. You get
much better results that way.

Go to

http://wiki.osx86project.org/wiki/index.php/Main_Page

and do lots of reading. All the info you need is there. I have
personally installed OS X on several of my computers. I only have one
left - 10.4.11 on a Thinkpad T41 laptop. I had 10.5.1 on this desktop, but
I deleted it because I needed the space, and after the novelty wore off I
never used it anyways.
