I BTW this has nothing to do with your comment really but people who download it as a torrent or something (as in mac for Pc) 67% of the time it was a virus not any virus but one that will wipe everything off your hard drive and a differnt one that give you OSX you open it and it acually says you're screwed! then permentaly freezes your computer with those words. Okay that last one only happend once but still the other one happens a lot...

Apple, but they are unlikely to go after anyone except the hackers.

They will likely go after anyone who sells a "package" aka, a PC, Mac OS, and the hack as a Mac Clone.

Heck they stepped on the guy hard for trying to put together upgrade Macs in their own cases.

Wait the guy did what? He upgraded the mac hardware and put it in a new pc case? or what

Old thread update almost missed it.

Was buying old spare parts, grab an old Mac logic board, plug in a new CPU upgrade, update the memory, new GPU card, etc. and put it all in their own case and sell it for less than a new Mac.

Running OS X on a PC is quite illegal.

MS Hardware

You can install windows because MS is a software company and buying windows is just for another computer. MS doesn't make any hardware at all.

Except for Xbox. And Mice. ;-)

To the original poster--it's a violation of the license terms. People do it and Apple doesn't worry about it too much. If you want to mod your car, be my guest. Most people just want to drive from point A to point B.

Threads don't automatically get locked after a few months of inactivity to prevent this kind of resurrection?
