Topic: Run Mac OS X on a PC

[sam]

People have long wanted to run the Mac OS operating system on PC hardware, specifically on Intel and AMD architectures. But despite pleas and prayers, that wish remains unfulfilled.

Although running Mac OS natively on PC hardware is not possible, there is another option--running Mac OS X on an emulator. In this article, I will show you how to install and run Mac OS X Panther on your PC using PearPC, a free, architecture-independent PowerPC platform that runs on PCs. To check out PearPC's features, go to the PearPC-PowerPC Architecture Emulator web site.

Here are the steps you'll take to use PearPC to install Mac OS X:

   1. Download the PearPC PowerPC Architecture Emulator.
   2. Obtain hard disk images for use with PearPC.
   3. Obtain images of your client OS installation disk.
   4. Configure PearPC to use the hard disk image and the OS images.
