Mac OS X "If you want to run Windows applications on your Intel powered Mac, you will be happy to learn that there are three different ways. The first method is by using Crossover for Mac, the second is using Parallels, and the third method is using Boot Camp. Each has their own advantages and disadvantages. This article will explain the differences between these programs and from there you should be able to figure out which method works best for you."

Technically, the only way to get a "full" version of OS X is to buy a Mac. The boxes you can buy at the store are upgrades, which "require" a valid OS X license.

Apple does not sell full OS X licenses apart from hardware purchases, so there is no "legal" way to run OS X on non-apple hardware.

Apple is, however, fairly generous, and as long as you have a recent Mac, they consider you to be a licensee of Mac OS, unlike MS, who could rain down on you anytime for using that "XP Upgrade" as your base install.
