Haha. That's funny. I want to see if they fixed the issues with firewire hardware and poor audio performance for these interfaces. There has also been some issues with their video card drivers on certain models. The nvidia drivers for the SR MBP were still pretty weak in Leopard. Lots of things need fixing hopefully this will take care of them.

it works on hackintoshes assuming you use pc_efi and assuming you're not dumb enough to run it on completely non-standard hardware that doesnt even come close to resembling a real mac.
'AppleIntelCPUManager.kext' will likely panic your system once it gets installed and automatically loads itself as usual. if you don't remove it before it gets loaded your system will die.

I suspect that your question will call out the legions of fanboys who will curse you and your future generations for daring to install OS X on non-Steve Jobs approved hardware. That would be part and parcel to "having your cake, and eating it too" which we all know Apple is completely against.
Although, I am interested in knowing the answer myself....not that I'm planning to put one together. You know...it's just out of curiosity.

The question now is whether OSX will run better or worse on non-Apple hardware.
Bug fixes in general are good and should help, but updates are also Apple's opportunities to purposely break things.
