You can run Mac OS X on prentium Pcs. Just do a google or yahoo search for Mac OS X86 or on intel and you should be able to find a patch that makes the os run on non Apple Hardware.

Apple has some absolutely fantastic new laptops out that can run both the critically acclaimed Mac OS x, and Microsoft Windows XP.\n\nI would suggest you check out an Apple store, or the online store.

I think you should boot up and remove that program. Sounds kinda flaky. Why on earth you would want a mac on a pc I dont know. Best thing to do is to install a Linux based OS. That will give that "Mac" feel. and you can still maintain a secondary OS such as XP.

Anyone who says, "don't buy a Mac" I would venture to guess has never owned a Mac.  I use both, Mac for personal and graphics and a Dell PC for work, only because I have to use proprietary programs that do not support Mac.  Trust me, I can't wait to get back on my Mac.  As for your question, buy the Mac Pro, then you can dual boot and use both Mac OS and Windows

My answer would be simple if it was a PC..  I would love to learn more about MAC's and how to use them.\n\nSad for a guy who programs for a living.    I have ONLY had to deal with PC type machines.  Well, besides main and mini frames back long ago.

I just bought an imac desktop computer. I am very happy with it. It was an iffy purchase and I wasn't sure that I needed it. After using it for almost 2 weeks now I love it. I have been a PC person until now but have just realized how good macs really are. I would reccommend a mac desktop if you want stylish looks, reliabilty, and great performance. I agree with the person above who mentioned that there aren't a lot of programs that you can get on a mac. However there seems to be many more popping up now that macs are getting more attention. I would recommend having both a pc and a mac if you can. Then you can have the best of both worlds:) The new mac operating system x is amazing too.

All the newer Macs can run Tiger. \n\nMac OS X Version 10.4 requires a Macintosh with:\n\nPowerPC G3, G4, or G5 processor\nBuilt-in FireWire\nAt least 256MB of physical RAM\nA built-in display or a display connected to an Apple-supplied video card supported by your computer\nAt least 3.0 GB of available space on your hard drive; 4GB of disk space if you install XCode 2 developer tools\nDVD drive for installation

First of all this is illegal and i in no way support it but there is a patched version of OS X for x86 that wil run on any pc. \n\nhttp://www.i-hacked.com/content/view/202/42/\n\nlook under the obtaining this software section.\n\nto run along XP, you will need to \na)get a new hard drive which would be the easiest method or\nb)partition your hard drive which will mean that you will have to reinstall windows and you will lose everything

Macintosh and Vista are made by seperate companies so you will likely have to change a lot of the hardware and add more hardware so that Vista will be able to operate.  Your best bet would be to buy a Vista capable computer from Dell or Compaq.  That way you can be certain Vista will run.  Or if you just really want a Mac have a friend who owns a Mac to run the Vista Upgrade Advisor from the Windows website.  (Note: The upgrade advisor requires the addition of serveral packages.  The total download size is between 5.00 MB to 67.00 MB depending on your computer.  High speed connection recommended.)

Yes, but I don't recommend it, as it would run slowly. You can do as Christopher said and try eBay for a copy of Mac OS 9, but you can also try Linux. A couple of excellent distributions for the iMac are:\n\nYellow Dog Linux\nhttp://www.terrasoftsolutions.com/products/ydl/\nCheck out this article about Yellow Dog Linux on the iMac:\nhttp://www.linuxjournal.com/article/4067\n\nUbuntu\nhttp://www.ubuntu.com/\nCheck out this tread about installing it on an old iMac:\nhttp://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=9750

Yes. There are a variety of software-based vector emulation programs such as Microsoft's Virtual PC for Mac. However, Intel is currently developing a new hardware-based vector emulation system that will allow you to load Linux, Windows, Mac, and BSD. During the boot sequence, there will be an option as to which operating system you want to boot from. I'm not sure when it will come out, but I would keep an eye out for it if I were you. Hope this information helps.

No way !!!\nMac OS only works for Mac Machines. . .\nYou only can do with your PC is that install Unix or Linix if you don't want to use Windows!!!

Use a Mac emulator.  Search for mac emulation.  Then you can use Mac OS on your microsoft working computer.  also, PC is generic for personal computer, macs are PC.

Are you on a MAC or PC?

If you like Windows at all, you'll love the Mac OS as soon as you get used to the differences. Give it about three weeks and you'll never want to go back to Windows. \n\nMicrosoft Office is considered by many to be better on the Mac than the PC version. \n\nOut of the box, Mac's can print directly to PDF files and view them with Preview or use Adobe Reader, so Mac PDF support is better than on the PC.\n\nI'm not sure about SPSS, but if you do need to run Windows applications, you can boot into Windows on the new Intel Macs (Bootcamp) or run Windows from within OS X using Parallels.\n\nHere's a good place to go with Mac questions:\nhttp://forums.macosxhints.com/
