"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."

One of the strange things about Mac OS X is most people have never actually used it. This may seem weird to a lot of people who grew up in schools and colleges that were pro Apple Mac, but the schools and colleges I've been to the only few Mac machines they had were used were for video editing and not something they let you 'try', and I don't even think they were mac os x at the time.
So unless you knew someone who had a Apple machine (mainly due to them needing it for video editing at schools) there was little chance of exploring Mac OS.
Even now, there aren't very many Apple stores in the UK and the only other options is to view a Mac in one of the larger retail stores such as pcworld (or any of the other dixons group) were they'll have the machine passworded or as most of the time not even powered on, mainly due to the mac expert not being in store, or other employees not wantin to deal with it.
Where do you get to try Mac OS X. Certainly Apple haven't introduced a 'demo' of the OS, so for most who're truely intrested in tryin Mac OS X (without some store assistant showing you how cool the icons are) they'll want to be installing Mac OS X equivalent/versions of the kind of software they want to use.
Suck it and see, we do it all the time with software and installing Mac OS X on a PC is allowing people to do just that.
