We can have a thread where we're talking about the fact that we don't talk about Hackintoshes. It's the next-best thing.

I Like how we can have treads about windows on macs but not mac on windows X)
I understand why (kind of) but when you say it out loud it makes you laugh

Well it is legal to run Windows on a Mac subject of course to the proper purchase being made. It is never legal to install Mac OS X on a Windows machine.

 

[iHate Vista]

True but what if you purchase OSX ???

Not without contravening the EULA:

Methinks the Dell is running the OS X.

And now that we've explained exactly WHY its illegal, we should probably close the thread.

But that would spoil the fun of talking about the policy of not talking about the topic.

Rule number one of Mac-Forums: You don't talk about hackintoshes.

(Okay, that was a bad play on the Fight Club rule).
