Mac OS X "Ever since I got the eeePC I've loved how easy it is to tinker with. Since I'm not a Linux guy, I dumped the Xandros preload and opted for Windows XP so I could use my EVDO USB datacard and blogging software easier, but I wondered could I install OSX on it? And, after trial and error - you can! The only problem is that the eeePC only supports SSE2 instead of the SSE3 that Leopard is coded for. Kind of a bummer, and will require some extra tinkering to coax the OS on the eeePC."

Honestly, apple should be happy about this. Going the way of the hackintosh, especially on a laptop is kind of like a crippled demo, some things work really well, others dont work at all.

Personally, I have an ancient OS9 mac (IMHO still one of the best operating systems of all time), but I also have Tiger installed on a partition on my laptop. Tiger heats up the laptop REAL fast, is unable to give me an accurate readout of my battery, doesnt work with my WiFi (real dealbreaker there), doesnt work with my built-in mic or webcam or my usb mic (another dealbreaker there), and will not resume from sleep. I basically use it to become more competitant with the OS, and to learn obj-c and XCode.
