OMG! That is SO cool! I just recently built myself a PC (had to put Windows XP on it...
) but now I am going to try to make another partition and run OS X "Tiger" and.."Amaze my friends" haha. Please if you could PM me/ post a guide as to how you achieved OS X to install/run on your Toshiba! Please help me and congrats again! Thanks!

1) Show us more pics so we know that is really your Toshiba and not a doctored photo.
2) Where did you "obtain" the copy of OSX for Intel? I assume it is a developer copy, as it is only 10.4.1. The shipping Intel version 10.4.4.
I'd like to see someone try the real version of OSX 10.4.4 on a PC and see what happens. We know the developer version had no DRM in them to tie them to the Apple hardware, so this is not too surprising.

I don't think the real version will run because it doesn't have BIOS support like the developer version did. The Intel macs use EFI instead, which is the same thing that keeps Windows XP from being installed on them.

The OS is based off of Unix. There has only been one successful virus to ever hit Unix-based OS'.
It was created in 1988.

Yes, I do believe this would be an illegal thread to be discussing..but I think ther reason they have not closed the thread is that they are not discussing how to do it, just that it was done.

I don't care what that benchmark app says, this thing runs fast.
[EDIT] @PowerBookG4: I will tomorrow once my digi cam batteries are done recharging.

Can you try again after restarting the system and only running XBench? The CPU scores are high but i wonder where is the difference and which are the low scores... what kind of video does your laptop has? integrated, memory?

So your saying you have XP running on this computer as well?
-How come in your screen shot it says the disk titled XP says 77.96GB and no space free?
-Why does the name of your machine say "Mac" and not "toshiba" or something else.
-Why in your first screen shot doesn't it say "start up disk"
-Why in your first screen shot does it say "Intel Pentium... processor" and not "Processor"
-How can your toshiba accurately read the Power of the battery and give that information to the OS which is not native to that bat?
-Why in your second screen shot does the mouse no longer have a shadow on it?
I see many holes in your screen shots, and I can see this very easily spoofed. Until I see further proof, I say. Fake.

Yes
1. Because it can't write to it.
2. Look at boot ROM
3. Because, the first screenshot was in VMWare.
4. Because, the first screenshot was in VMWare.
5. No idea.
6. There was no mouse in my first screenshot...
Like I said, tommorow I will have a shot with my digi cam.
