Pondering Mac Pro or HP Z800

[Max(IT)]

If it's in a corporate environment (support = IT staff), then I'm in full agreement. They'd want to string someone up for a stunt like that. 😱 😛

But for an individual (which is the impression I have here), it's a possibility if they're willing to deal with the compromise of self support. That said, I still wouldn't bother if the system is being used to generate an income, as the downtime is too expensive if a major issue occurs (get behind on output and miss deadlines = pissed off clients = and loss of business due to unreliable reputation that's sure to follow).

I don't want to go down this way. It is OT.
It's "illegal", that's enough for me ...

Didn't mean that I'd try to run OS X on the HP, only that the Pro could run either Parallels or Boot Camp. My communication mistake on that.

Understood.
But I also understood that someone was suggesting you that.
I don't agree.

I was just commenting on what's possible from a technical POV. As I said, it's not viable in an enterprise environment, but may be an acceptable method for individuals, so long as they understand the compromise involved.

As per "illegal", I don't see it that way, as the actual EULA is a Contract, not LAW. But I really don't want to go down this road, as it has it's own threads IIRC. 😉 😛

I guess today's not the day for the new Pro's 🙁
