OS X Tiger on a PC

By Thomas Marshall · August 15, 2005 ·

The biggest item of news from Apple this year was of course the switch to intel. Apple are giving up on the Power PC chips and are going to start using chips made by intel. The same chips that are used in PCs. All version of OS X have been made for intel but not been put on sale. If you are a member of the Apple Developer Connection, then this year your company has had the option to rent an intel powered G5, to test out your company’s Apps for intel chips. And one of the members of the developer connection has taken the OS X tiger for intel software and hacked it to run on his PC. It wasn’t quite as easy as just putting it in and pressing install but it was rather easier than Apple were hoping. If you interested in putting OS X on your PC, then here is the website of the hacker that did it. And here is a direct link to the instructions on how to do it. I think I might try this although I am not completly sure if my PC is compatible.
