www.osx86.classicbeta.com, some intrepid individuals have been able to get OS X running on generic hardware. There is a full explaination and some details on the site.

Yes they did. If you wanted to run OS X on a computer thats of higher calibar than a Mac mini, you must buy that from Apple... and then they would get the appropriate margin as a result. If you bought the mini to install OS X on a Dell, then the lost margin is stollen from them.

So now the "caliber" of the computer for which I have purchased a copy of OS X not only determines what future computers I may use it on, but also whether or not Apple was going to make another sale. Excellent. Stolen margins abound. Yeah, I guess they should just buy it for a Mini and then install it on the computers that they already own. Let's see, that's $0 for a computer you already own. Well that's cheaper than the Mini.

Apple lost no sale here. I'm reminded horribly of Ralph Nader stealing the election from Al Gore, or Ross Perot from stealing it from George H.W. Bush. What is wrong with people?
