Not legal... Thus it can not be discussed here.
And the truth is... if you want OS X you'd be well advised to buy a Mac anyway.

It's against the Forum rules to discuss it and it's against Apples EULA which is why it's against the forum rules.

Yes, you can do it.
Yes, doing it is a violation of Apples License
Yes, because doing it is a violation of Apples license you are not going to find any help in this particular forum for this topic.

Good luck.
