Right now I have a laptop running Windows XP, Windows Vista (Beta 2), and Kubuntu Linux. Should I remove XP and Vista, and run Mac OS X Tiger instead?

I've found the x86 version of OS X, so that's not a problem.

NO- It'll run on a Mac though. It's a great, user friendly OS, and the newer macs will even run windows- though windows is really just a copy of older mac OSs anyway. I'm not a mac fanatic, but I do have a mac and like it very much. :) Thankfully, they're coming down in price!

You will probably have issues with some of your hardware not being recognized. I had OSX running nicely in a Virtual Machine, but when I went to install it on my hard drive, it messed with the partition tables so badly that I could not recover my machine. I had to reinstall everything from scratch. Also, running OSX on non Mac Hardware will never be supported by your computers manufacturer, apple, or microsoft. I wouldn't.

that's achieveable, yet a touch puzzling. Ubuntu has suggestions on a thanks to do this on their wiki. that's going to delay purely superb although you should opt to get a higher troublesome stress. the element about twin/tri-booting is that it has no result on equipment elements except troublesome stress area (you're tri-booting, not virtualizing). So it ought to delay purely besides for an equivalent Dell or HP. that's necessary to do this the old style way with guide partitioning. Boot Camp (that's extremely only a partitioning device, a hack to get BIOS emulation on OS X, and living house windows drivers), freaks out once you've more advantageous than 3 walls on the troublesome stress. And for those those who say that the Dell/HP is a much extra valuable decision because you'll get them more low-cost, try comparing apples to apples (no pun meant) sometime. with the help of which I advise a 13.3" pc with an LED backlit exhibit, Nvidia snap shots, and a 2.26Ghz midsection 2 Duo processor. not a 13" Celeron with Intel's excuse for snap shots.

OS/X only runs on a Mac, I think.

Maybe install OS X in parallel, to see how you like it.
(Or install it instead of Linux, since it has a BSD unix command line).

Nope. You will be unable to do that because OSX won't run natively on your intel based hardware.
