If they get it running on a PC - then even I might giove it a go - I should think getting drivers for everything wouldbe a long way off tho...

One of the driving forces of instability on all the Windows Os is the proliferation of chipsets out there, some mobo's with the same chipsets even have differences in memory access timings etc.
The beauty of the mac as a platform is you NEVER get that.
Hence the pointless excercise of OSX on PC.
Even Linux on the PC is mired in driver issues, while the Mac platform version is relatively painless.
This is one of the reasons that professionals pay out the extra wodge for a Mac, they just don't want to have to deal with all the horseshit on the PC platform.

Well, in about a few months from now, you will be able to install OSX
on any PC in same way as you can already install XP on the new macs.

Legally? It has been done illegally for quite a while now.

Illegaly and criminally in the most blatant ways against any imaginable laws.
As already mentioned above, currently, there's still lots of incompatibilities,
but all software and hardware companies have big interests in developing
drivers and software for the new versions of OSX-Pirate, financial interests.
Strategic interests, and obvious interests to make their products compatible
with this new turn of OSX, cuz it may possibly become more popular than Linux.

Errr, ask Nvidia if they'll be developing drivers for the pirate version of OSX-PC anytime soon, and post the answer on here.
This....I want to hear

Well... MacOs on PC, but I will eat my hat (don?t have one, but will even buy one to eat if I?m wrong) if someone ever legally succeeds in that...

Gotta admit, it would be convenient though...

I dont know...I really dont rate Macs. They do nothing for me.

Could someone plz explain to me why people tend to be all elitist about it. Do they use lots of analog components?

well let me just sum up the relationship between windows and macos in one brief comparison to something we all experience. virus control WORKS on mac os (apart from some latency) not the case in windows.
