It cannot really be done without having a virtual macintosh program or by getting a hacked illegal version of tiger for x86 (which probably wouldnt be very stable anyhow) If you would pay 100 dollars for tiger, why not just pay 300 dollars for a used mac mini on ebay which would come with the OS too?

You need the Hardware to run the software.
When you say you run things like QuickTime, iTunes and Safari. those are Windows versions of Mac programs.

I think no. PC's do not have the proper chips to run MAC OS's. but there may be an emulator that can do it. see the following:

Not legally, but you can legally install Windows on a Mac.
That's what honest people do, using Boot Camp or Parallels.
BTW, you can't buy OS X, it's included with Macs.

yes you should be able to. theres a program called pearPC and it allows you to install MAC OS X on to a windows computer. just search pearPC on the internet and website gives great instructions on how to go through the process.

no they won't run properly..
apple could make it work on a pc IF they wanted, but they'd rather you buy an apple mac..
intel chipsets now even less excuse ;-)
also it might upset billy.hehe
