leopard and vista

[salvation]

is it possible to run both leopard and vista on one computer

 

[farlex85]

Yes, it must be a mac though. Apple doesn't allow their os's on non-apple machines.

 

[salvation]

My friend is running OS X on his computer I believe. And its not a mac.

If you google search around. i know there is a hack that lets your run Leopard and OSX on any INTEL machine.

I did not read through that. But I know that hack is available. I think this will explain more. Goodluck

EDIT: Heres the guide i was looking for

Lifehacker had something a while back called a hackintosh, which was pretty much how to run a mac without costing an arm and a leg.

You can do a search for "OSX86" and you can find a lot of info about installing OS X onto a standard PC.

This is one of the best places for information:

Replace the iATKOS v1.0 in your search with "kalyway"

hey cybrnook2002 the guide shows u how to partion your drive and install leopard wat about if u have 2 seperate drives

 

[NinkobEi]

then why does mac sell its OS at best buy? I mean, if your target audience is only older gen mac owners that doesnt seem worthy of shelf space.

 

[panchoman]

you can install os x on pc's, and insanelymac is a good place to start.. but its not exactly something that apple wants you to do, and im sure it breaks the eula and all.

 

[salvation]

what happens if i go to the store buy a copy of leopard and then install it on my second drive

 

[panchoman]

what happens if i go to the store buy a copy of leopard and then install it on my second drive

thats what im planning on doing with my new rig.. still breaking the eula.. but atleast you paid for the leopard to go on the pc

 

[salvation]

yea thats wat i thought i paid for so why cant i use it

 

[xylomn]

yea thats wat i thought i paid for so why cant i use it

unfortunetly apple like to be retards and restrict their os to only thier hardware in the EULA....

you can only legally install osx on a non mac system if your an apple developer

 

[salvation]

thats retarded how does apple know wat their hardwear is if you look at any mac their parts are the same i can build a pc with the same hardware

 

[panchoman]

its not retarded.. its called marketing... look at microsoft and dx... if apple was to release os x to pcs, no one would buy their mac computers, and same thing for microsoft, if they release dx to os x, no one would buy windows.. as the only reason vista is used is because either customers are forced to use it preinstalled, or gamers upgrade to vista for dx10[.1]

 

[salvation]

so if i went to install on a pc it would just stop me because i dont want to buy it then it not work

 

[panchoman]

you'd have to download it from a certain bay out there, (kalyway is really good) and use that, but buy leopard so that its not like you stole it.. i'd sort of try before you buy, i.e. try out kalyway and the other good few and see if they work with your system, if they do, go buy the real leopard from the apple store so that you're not stealing leopard.

 

[salvation]

is it possible to run leopard on one drive and vista on the other

 

[farlex85]

Leapord from what I've heard is crippled if you hack it to run on a pc. Most registered mac software will not work. I suppose you can then hack all your software, but then what is the point of having a mac os (simplicity?). If your gonna do it, I would use a mac to do it to get full functionality of both. Otherwise, threre's no reason to do it really.

 

[salvation]

do u know the hacks to run it on pc

 

[farlex85]

No, stuff the others were talking about. Why do you want to run them together on a pc? I don't think it's worth the effort, if you want leapord, just get a mac.

 

[salvation]

macs to expensive

 

[farlex85]

macs to expensive

Do you just prefer leapord os though? The main benefit of it is the software that comes w/ macs or the specially tailored hardware, neither of which will work properly if using it through a pc. Other than that you can do everything w/ windows, you can even make it look like leapord if you want.
