    Im not sure if its possible, but I heard that it might be possible to get OS X on your intel platform. O_0. does anyone else know if this is even possible, and if so, how to do it?

    It is possible, but there is extremely limited support and the result is nothing like what the Mac's run.

    OS X is based off Unix, and is supposedly pretty close to FreeBSD which can be run on an x86 platform. The limitations are pretty severe: I don't think any modern chipset past the 440BX is really supported, but it's been awhile since I kept up on the project.

    If your intrested, go to http://www.opensource.apple.com/

    That was still valid last I checked. You need to registered last I checked, but it's free.
