“I’m not joking! It is possible to install leopard on your Windows computer! Just read the following guide…” – Hackers

Of course, downloading OSX is illegal, not to mention running it on a non-Apple hardware is also illegal. Then again, they are just testing this out for information purposes only. If you want to install OSX (tiger or leopard) on your Windows box (either Intel or AMD) computer, your computer processor needs to support at least SSE2. If you’ve got SSE3, then you are extremely lucky because everything will go smoothly.
After making sure that your computer is perfectly fit for running OSX, the real ‘pain’ starts. You are going to do a whole bunch of things from partitioning, editing the image file. Still sounds easy for you? Check their website out at profit42.com.

This is something that I personally would not recommend. Even just a few days ago, Apple announced the new iMac, and they are really beautiful. Not just their beauty, they also come with a really good spec. You other option is to use Unix or linux, because OSX is using Unix under the hood. However, if you are like me, who really want a OSX machine, then you better get a Mac yourself.

  1. The Computer is always right.
  2. Programmers are occasionally right.
  3. The amount of time needed to debug a program is inversely proprotional to the time allotted for debugging.
  4. Programs never work the first time unless there is virtually unlimited time to complete the program.
  5. Any programmer can find 90% of his bugs simply by explaining his program to an uninterested observer.
  6. The uninterested observer may be sleeping, dead, nonhuman, or, in extreme cases, nonexistant.
  7. The most difficult or nearly impossible programming problems appear obvious or extremely simple to anyone with little or no knowledge of programming.
  8. Those problems most easily solved by a programmer appear to be overwhelmingly complicated and marvelous to the layman.
  9. Computers are never more intelligent than their programmers.
  10. Most computers are incredibly stupid.
  11. The rarest bugs in any operating system or major programming effort will always show up in a demonstration of its use to prospective users or customers.
  12. These bugs usually cannot be reproduced and therfore cannot be located.
  13. Customers will never purchase programs which appear to be riddled with bugs as verified by demonstration.
  14. Most programs are unfit for sale.

It’s pretty funny. I love the part where it says Windows Vista Dismissed. Now, we just have to wait for someone to make a Mac sticker!

“Windows Vista incapable/ Stick with Windows XP”

It’s a metaphor of real desktop. Now see Windows Desktop returned back to reality.
