Hey,

I have an existing AOpen mini-itx Core Duo machine (non-apple) that I'd like to try Leopard/iLife08 with.

Is it as simple as just buying the OS and iLife? I'm just a little worried about hardware compatibility, given its not original mac hardware.

Edit: The Leopard website doesn't mention anything about no-mac hardware - so I'm not sure if that's just assumed or what

Any help much appreciated.
Cheers

No. If you want to move from Windows, you will need to buy a Mac.
It states in the EULA that an Apple computer is required to run the sotware.
