I use pearpc to emulate mac os X it does not currently work with 10.4 but 10.3.9 and lower it does. It can be slow at times, but it works well when I am developing software I am able to test in multiple enviroments. It emulates a ppc. But it runs on any X86 based processor. Including on top of Window$, Linux, or BSD. I don't think it would be very hard to fake out an install to make the software think it is running on an Intel based Mac. I could be wrong Apples bread and butter has always been there hardware. http://pearpc.sourceforge.net/ --John

Subject: Re: [info-tech] Apple on Intel
The Darwin kernel has run on Intel since its inception. The GUI was not
available on the Intel platform so it was all CLI.
As far as thinking that you could run OS X on a PC, that is probably not
going to be true right out of the box. There will probably be safeguards
against non apple branded equipment. Having said that, it is not impossible
to believe that it can not be ported that way if it can run on Intel and
since most parts is just parts. There are kids running Linux on X Boxes in
the world so nothing is impossible
This is the joy of open source. Perhaps Microsoft should be taking notes
