    Congrats on the new machine and the setup. However, I think you ought to delete mention of the dual boot. The mods are pretty strict about mention of OSX being installed on PC's.

    Actually I have purchased OSX Leopard for my business and used this guide. It is totally legal especially if you have purchased OSX!

    I still don't think it's legal. Apple wants you to use OSX with Apple hardware only which is not the case.

    You know it's always amazed me how Apple has no problems advertising boot camp and saying how you can use both OS's but they want to tie their OS with their equipment. They don't mind bundling Quicktime with itunes but all you heard in the past was how Explorer was tied to Windows as well as other programs within Windows.

    I say they are hypocrites. I'd do the same as the OP if I wanted OSX, which I don't. ;)

    It is cleary mentions in Apple's Mac OS X EULA. NBR stance on OSX on PC discussion is that if you want to use OSX, get an mac-it will save you the hassle((look at some recent closed threads on NBR)

    http://www.apple.com/legal/sla/

    -Forum rules

    Also since you failed to heed members warning, this thread is now closed.

    If you want to make another thread, make sure it complies with the forum rules(while you are at it, remove the mention of OSX in your sig)

    Thanks.
