Nice of them to package it up like that, but OSX is BSDunix - probably could have used and bootloader anyway...

it had been done, but since the new macs use EFI instead of a BIOS, something had to be written to fool winblows into thinking there was a bios there..some guy won like 12k or something doing it not too long ago..but now it's official and easy

I think the guy won the money making something that cloned EFI rather than BIOS, so you could install OSX on your PC.

It works. :cool:

nah, it was winxp on a mac he won for.

osx on a winpc has been going on for a while. I put it on my machine about 6 months ago, couldn't get the bugs working out right.

Oh wait, you're right.

Works like a charm...

But don't expect your Windows games to be very playable on the x1600 in the iMac and MacBook Pros. Cause it blows.
