    hi,

    I would like to ask, if it is possible to run a mac os on my laptop with x64 vista. I am considering about buying an apple macbook, but I would like to try the new OS beforehand, to see what it is like to work in mac os. is it possible to have a dual boot or virtualize mac os on "pc" laptop?
    thank you

    Very possible, but discussion of that is not allowed in this forum (as its againts Apples EULA), so google it. Apple doesn't want it's virgin OS being impregnated with Windows babies, if ya kno what I'm saying (cause I sure as hell don't).

    Think of it as forbidden fruit.

    Hehe, I'm so clever.

    We are not allowed to talk about this on these forums it is against Apple's EULA and illegal.

    *Edit* Seriously, it really took me 2 min to write that :|

    If you want to get away from Windows and you are using a PC. Why not go with Linux, it can probably do everything you need and it is free.

    As above,

    It is illegal to install OS X on non-apple hardware. It is against the forum rules.

    I will have to close this thread.

    You might want to try out Linux as an alternative.
