Windows on Mac, Mac OS not on PC?
I still, to this day, wonder how PC users can't use the Mac OS; especially since Apple is now using Intel Chips for pretty much (if not) all of their products. How can you put an X86-Compatible OS on a Mac, yet you can't put a ### (whatever mac is
) on a pc? |

There's more to a computer than a handful of chips..

Apple makes their money selling their computers not their OS (not counting iPods). So that is a big reason they don't allow it to run on regular boxes that lots of people have Windows on. There also is no protection on the OS no 'activation' or serial number...

Also, it would be an impossible task to make OS X run with Apple reliability on all (or even most of) the PC hardware out there.

And if after all of this it still isn't clear enough - the reason a lot of people can't/don't do it is because your buddies at Apple don't want it to happen.
