Is there any way to install Mac OS X on a PC now that we've bypassed the intel-Mac conflict?

Well, prior to the solving of the conflict, we usually install MacOS on a Virtual Machine, so you actually run MacOS on top of Windows as a normal Window, and you can set it to FullScreen Mode, minimize it to get on with some work on your Windows, or even shut it down and have Windows running...\n\nRegarding the solving of the conflict of Intel & Mac, this only means that Intel shall produce processors for Mac PC's, and therefore there is a new competitor for PowerPC Processors, but this doesn't mean that MacOS will be supported on IBM-Standard Computers...\n\nIntel will produce processors that are competible with MacOS Architect to support its applications, and won't simply take the default IBM-Standard Processor and ship it as is for MacOS...\n\nSo, the only solution you have to run MacOS on an IBM-Standard computer, is to run it virtually on another Operating System (either Windows or Linux)...\n\nExamples of Virual Machine Applications:\nMicrosoft Virtual PC:\nhttp://www.microsoft.com/windows/virtual...\n\nPS: Microsoft has a version of Virtual PC for Mac PCs\nhttp://www.microsoft.com/windows/virtual...\n\nVMware Workstation:\nhttp://www.vmware.com/products/ws/...\n\nPS: VMware is available for Windows and Linux\n\nPPS: To run Virtual Machines, make sure you have a good processor and a lot of Memory (RAM)\n\nHope this answers your question...

Compatibility problems with MAC OS.  That is always the problem with MAC OS.  I recommend that you install windows for mac or other parallel OS softwares that will allow you the option to use those applications.  dual-boot and parallel OS in MAC is the best way to go until MAC OS gets there act together.\n\nHope this helps

Hi there...any of the new Intel Mac meets the minimum LE7 requirements to run and some of the G4/G5 Macs as well.  According to Apple information LE7 system requirements are as follows:\nMacintosh computer with an Intel or PowerPC G4 or G5 processor\n512MB of RAM\nMac OS X v10.4.3 or later\nQuickTime 7.0.3 or later\n6GB of available hard drive space\nDVD drive for software installation\nLow-latency multi-I/O audio hardware and MIDI interface recommended\n\nLE7 Spec info: http://www.apple.com/logicexpress/specs.html

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

Yes ofcourse.\nThere are emulators that can do that.\nBut all of them are in development stage and therefore not reliable.\nSo there is no official Mac emulator for windows.\nBut there are other Mac softwares that are also available for windows.\nLike iTunes. Use them if u like.

Mac commercials make you think that PC's are bulky, repetitive, and way behind. What's ironic is that Apple recently ditched IBM -- the decade-long manufacturer of their CPU technology. They switched to Intel and the "x86" platform. So much for being unique and innovative. The move admitted that they are chasing the PC.\n\nThe truth is that there is nothing a Mac can do that a PC can't.\n\nThough Macs are generally better out of the box and easier to use, by no means are they more powerful. How can they be now, especially if at the very core you have a PC component (the x86 CPU)? Plus, if a Mac breaks down, good luck repairing it yourself. Most of what makes up a Mac is proprietary. With a PC, it's the complete opposite. That's the other side of the story you don't hear a lot about. It gets expensive buying parts straight from Apple.\n\nEspecially now that Macs have changed their platform to become more like a PC, what reason is there anymore to have this debate? The only thing left to discuss is the Mac OS vs. Windows. Since the hardware is nearly identical, why pay for a system that goes out of its way to restrict you from modifying it? The PC is the way to go if you want the power to customize. There are more upgrade options at a lower cost.\n\nNothing against Mac's overall - I just think they're a pretty package with hidden maintenance costs.\n\n\nOnce you move past comparing the hardware, Macs do seem to have a bright future. Although I would still go with a PC at this point, Apple has a lot of multimedia editing applications that are already fine-tuned for systems with multiple processors. When all the bugs are finally hammered out so that everything runs smoothly in the x86 architecture, getting a Mac with dual-CPU's would be a great option for the audio/video enthusiast.

Get yourself a copy of bootcamp. A game made for Windows will not run on a Mac regardless of the chip, unless you are running Windows inside the Mac OS.

New Macs are based on the Intel x86 architecture. That's the platform that Microsoft Windows is compatible with. Microsoft still gets all of the profit from those who put Windows on a Mac. It doesn't mess anything up. You see, Mac Os X originally was built for Mac hardware. It wasn't the x86 standard that AMD and Intel chips bring to the table. Now, Apple has a deal with Intel so all of their new hardware is based off of Intel chips. Hence, you can now run Windows on a Mac. Mac has made some moves as well so their new Operating System OS X Tiger can run on x86 platforms as well. So you can have Windows on a Mac and Mac OSX on a Windows machine.

throw your pc away and get a mac

There are directions in the comments.  On top of that it only runs on specific hardware with a certain amount of RAM, and you need to have the retail version of OS X 10.4 (Tiger), plus the software to allow OS X to run on the laptop.

PC or Mac?\n\nif it's Mac, go for a Power Mac Dual-Core G5, fully loaded with RAM\n\nif it's a PC, go for\nProcessor: Intel® Pentium® D Processor Extreme Edition 965 w/ HT 3.73GHz 1066MHz FSB\nMotherboard: NVidia nForce™4 SLI™ X16 Motherboard\nVideo Card: Dual 512MB PCI-Express x16 NVIDIA® GeForce™ 7900 GTX - SLI Enabled \nRAM Memory: 4GB Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM at 667MHz - 4 x 1024MB \nHard Drives: 1TB (500GB x 2) Serial ATA 3Gb/s 7,200 RPM w/ NCQ & 32MB Cache\nCD/DVD-ROM: 16x Dual Layer DVD±R/W Drive w/LightScribe Technology\nSound: Creative Sound Blaster® X-Fi® Elite Pro High Definition 7.1 Audio with XRAM Technology\n\nin either case, choose a Cintiq 21UX Monitor.  It replaces the mouse, as you actually draw on the monitor like you would a piece of paper.\n\nCheck it out at www.wacom.com

AMD? Possibly not, Although since they have Macs with intel processors now, I would guess that there is indeed a version of the Mac os that will run on a PC. Exactly how you would get one, I'm not sure. Never actually had to install a mac os. Not even sure that they sell it sperately from their computers. Of course... there would have to be mac versions of drivers for all sorts of hardware that was previously only for PCs... if this is possible then someone at apple spend a LONG LONG LONG time on it... hmm. If I find out more I'll paste it in.

If your looking at a mag the only reason people get mac is for the graphic programs, the new intel macs have not been proven yet, I dont recommand any product till it's been out in the market for a year.\n\nIf you looking for a PC just buy an xp windows base computer.

I have Tiger--OS-X.4 and I love it. I have used both Mac and Windows computers and I prefer Mac. After all, there are millions of viruses out their for the PC, and only about 6 for a Mac.

You can either run a hacked (and most likely illegally obtained) copy of Mac OSX built for X86 (the cpu architechture of PCs and upcoming as-of-yet-unreleased Macs), or you can run a PowerPC emulator on your PC, such as PearPC: http://pearpc.sourceforge.net/ and install Mac OSX using your legally-bought (or not...your call) install media.

sad to say, but you have essentially shot yourself in the foot by buying a Mac if you are the only Mac user on your work's business network ... check with the system administrator, since he is providing the Mac support, he should know how to resolve your issue.  ... Buying a system that handicaps you at work is one quick way of making yourself expendable, not recommended and it wont endear you to anyone that has to share files with you or support your O/S when everyone else is using PC's
