    Now after trying out Windows 7, I am thinking about trying to install OSX Leopard. Just wondering if anyone has tried to do that yet... It would be great to know what I should watch out for (in term of driver compatibility)...

    Why no discussions of OSX installations on Gateway laptops in the Gateway forum?? Does Microsoft have control of this website or something?? :confused:

    because installing OSX on anything other than a mac is a violation of the Apple EULA and thus, illegal.

    Technically its not illegal due to an EULA never having been challenged in court, but NBR wants to keep away from the issue just in case it ever does become a legal issue.

    Bye bye thread
