Not only that, but I'd hate to get caught with one of those hacks by the
folks who matter. I know Microsoft builds what for want of a better word
I'll call a backdoor into their programs, which allows them to tell if
they've been tampered with in any way. I came very close to getting into
trouble with this a few years ago before I started college here in Idaho. I
needed Microsoft Office 2003, but the version on my laptop was just a trial.
My former neighbor at the time had a daughter whose boyfriend offered to let
me use a copy of the program he'd bought. Problem was that it had already
been installed on the allowed three computers. I held the CD in hand and was
tempted, but on reflection I decided it wasn't worth the risk of getting
caught and, at the very least having to pay a heavy fine I actually couldn't
afford or spending time in prison. I imagine it's much the same with these
Hackentosh netbooks.

Hi Shaun,
The problem with the so-called Hackentosh Netbooks is they are just hacks.
I've seen all kinds of hacks out there that try to emulate Mac OS X on
standard PC hardware, but they are all flawed in some way.
For example, there is suppose to be a hacked Mac OS Leopard image
ffloating around on the internet that you can extract to an empty hard
drive on your PC, reboot, and run Mac OS X Leopard on various desktops and
laptops from HP, Compaq, Del, etc. However, it is very problematic. In
some cases I've heard it runs fine, but in a lot of cases it won't even
boot, or it gets to the startup screen and crashes.
Anyway, the point is I think if a person wants to go Mac it is a good idea
to actually own a Mac. It is much easier to run Windows on a Mac using
Boot Camp than it is to run Mac OS on a Windows PC using PearPC or other
emulation software.
