Windows XP to Mac OS X
Hey guys,
I was wondering if it was possble to convert a PC running Windows Xp to a Mac OS X. I hve just been introduced to Mac OS X and it looks so good. Also, I can get it cheaper with a Student discount. Thanks in advance, Michael

No.
Mac OS X only runs on a PowerPC architecture, and lots of Apple hardware. You can get some terrible emulations though.

Dang. I was just wondering the same thing. I'd like to try OS X or a variation on my PC.

ohw there is some sf project that does a complete emulation of a PowerPC on windows I think. You can run OSX in the emulation. Have a look for it.

thx allier, I meant that one.
http://pearpc.sourceforge.net/screenshots/macosx2.jpg really scares the hell out of me. It probably is 500 times slower than the CPU and it must have took ages to get it right there. If not I will just crash myself.
