Kurt,
If you want the option of booting either OS X or XP on a single
machine, you will have to buy a Mac. That's what Boot Camp does,
that's what we've all been talking about.
As far as (easily) running OS X on your existing machine, you can
forget about it. (Yes, their are third-party hacks, but... ) Apple is
never going to support OS X on non-Apple hardware. Certainly not now
that they've got a monopoly on dual-boot hardware.

Hi,
how about the reverse? If I could run Mac OSX on my windows
machine, I might buy the logic windows to mac update, since I liked
the program very much. I might also give Bandstand a try. But I
would not by an Intel Mac to run XP, or vista, on.
I have all the software I need on my XP machine, and some of the
best programs, like wavelab, don't exist for macs. Many of the
"good" programs exist for PC and Mac, anyway, and while I would
like two or thre Mac specific programs, I would miss the hundreds
of PC alternatives and lots of shareware or freeware programs.
Also I like the feeling of XP, I am accustomed to it, and I know
where to look if a problem arises, which hardly ever happens.
OK, there are less viruses for OSX, but there are, and there would
be more if more macs were out there.
Is there also a solution out there, or in sight? I'm not talking
about an OSX emulator, but about being able to select XP or OSX
while booting.
And I would just hope OSX would take care of all my external
Firewire and USB2 drives (NTFS), soundcards (Hammerfall DSP and
Creative Labs X-Fi), W-Lan, Wireless keyboard and mouse, Pocket PC,
and and...) How about the flexibility of OSX to adress PC hardware?
I guess my iPod would not be a problem...;-)
Any hints?
Kurt
