I was wondering if you could buy and download OS X 10.4 to a PC, and instantly turn the operating system into a mac. Would it be that simple?

greater promoting, a good promoting team, easy layout, homogeneity. laptop is unquestionably any computer no longer a mac, and of direction they'll run the gamut in high quality/cost/layout. consequently the only element that Macs particularly have over each laptop is they are in a position to run Apple proprietary application. there is likewise a picture element that i'm noticing with Macs. as a results of their branding and promoting Macs are pointed out as "cooler" than their laptop counterpart in specific subcultures. i'm on account that an incredible sort of you placed down 'virus loose' as between the main widespread experts of a mac. That in spite of the incontrovertible fact that has to do with the Unix based working gadget run on the Mac fairly than the Mac itself. If laptop consumers are so susceptible, they are in a position to additionally get a plague loose working gadget in between the various Linux flavors.

There is a project called osx86 that does just this. It's not easy at all, and requires a lot of dinking around, but several have pulled it off. It is, however against the terms of the License Agreement for OSx. The terms explicitly specify that the software must be run on Apple hardware.

In order to put Mac OSX you need to pirate a copy of Mac OSX X86. You need to have a special firmware interface that only newer computers have. It is possible but it is hard. People on you tube do it all the time.

Sorry, the architecture and components are too dissimilar for the OS to function in the manner of your question. That is my opinion. You don't pump diesel into a gasoline tank either, right?

the short answer is no,right now it's illegal.
There are ways to do it , take a look to :
http://wiki.osx86project.org/wiki/index.php/Installation_Guides
or you can do the right thing : buy a Mac Mini ,you'll have the possibility to run both Vista or XP and Mac OS X and you'll keep your old monitor and keyboard if you like.
Take a look to Leopard before to try strange things ; )
