I've heard that we can install and run the Apple Operation system (Tiger X)

Does it true? and so if I want to try that though ... what should I do ... and what is the lowest system requirment?

If your a bit handy you can extract the image to your HD and use wingrub to boot.
As host OS to install it over i sugest GNU-Darwin since that is based on BSD and seems to work out well with mac osx Smile

its true.

*************

It appears as if hackers have figured out a way to load Mac OSX onto a PC according to the Web page of The OSx86 Project. The site includes instructions to run Mac OS X on a Intel or AMD PC, with pictures and videos of PCs booting Mac OS X.

The easy process requires a copy of Mac OS X version 4 (Tiger), VMware's virtualization software, the PearPC emulator that can run operating systems written for PowerPC on any architecture, Apple's Darwin 8.0.1 software, an x86 processor that supports SSE2 (Streaming SIMD Extensions 2), and two files created by an independent developer.

Is this illegal? Yes, because you will need to download a pirated copy of Tiger and be willing to install these two modified files. Although, Dell Chairman Michael Dell has been interested in selling a Mac OS X Dell PC when Jobs announced the switch to Intel's chips. No word from Apple on this latest development.

don't play with doodie (crap/shit/how you call it)
don't install a bleeding edge os unless you know how to use it and debug.

if you really wish to use a compatible mac os on a pc, check this out: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mac_OS_X it should start you off.

Well, going the other way isnt gonna work Sad

Intel Macs use EFI to boot and Vista will not include support for it, so dont think about trying to dual boot OSX and Vista on Intel Macs Sad
