Thanks for the detailed info. So I could run Windows on a Mac now, but
not Mac on a Dell. At least not legally. There's already an open source
app in the works to let you run Mac on a Intel box, but it's in
pre-Alpha, and I think it's only for OS 9, not OS X. It's called PearPC.
I'm sure that as soon as Leapord comes out, (if it is the OS that will
run on Intel - or as soon as the Intel version of Tiger ships) hackers
will begin to unlock the code so Mac will run on white boxes....
Two words for you my friends -----
