This is probably a silly question....but is it possible to install a MAC OS on a pc. I have been thinking about this and was wondering if it would work on a blank hard drive.

Any comments would be welcome.

I'm not sure, do some research, but they do run on almost the same hardware now so I'm sure it may be somewhat possible

I think doing that would take a lot away from the "Mac" experience and the work-arounds involved to keep it working, patched DVD's, the "hope this works" feelings, etc. remind me of using Windows.

In fact, the entire idea is too Windows-ish. Piecing things together, and patching, and tweaking.....I want something that works on its own without me having to tweak it or shoehorn it. Hardware and software that works together, not forced to work together. Thats why I switched in the first place. Thats why I think putting OS X on a PC is ridiculous.

Putting OS X on a PC does not make it a Mac.

There is no joke about it. It is illegal to do so. Illegal activity discussion is not permitted on these forums. Had you read the forum rules, you would have understood that.
