Leopard Hacked to Run on PCs

[Capper]

The cat and mouse game between hackers and Apple takes another move, with news that Apple's new Leopard operating system has already been successfully installed on Windows PCs.
The OSx86 Scene forum has released details of how Windows users can migrate to Apple's new OS, without investing in new hardware -- even though installing Leopard on an PC may be counter to Apple's terms and conditions.
The forum is offering full instructions on how to install the system, including screenshots of the installation process.
Not all the features of Leopard function with the patch -- Wi-Fi, support, for example, is reportedly inoperable. Historically, Apple's likely next move will be to track down and act against those behind the hack.
The move to make Leopard work on a PC is just the latest in Apple's continual struggle with the hacker community.
Also this weekend a crew of hackers unleased Jailbreak Me, an online service iPod touch and iPhone users can navigate to in order to break into these devices in order to install applications on them.
Apple has encountered similar trials each time it releases a new version of its operating system, as PC-using hackers want the OS, but not necessarily the Mac.
Apple as yet hasn't allowed virtualization software developers to create ways in which Mac OS X can be run on an Intel-based Windows machine, though this weekend's Leopard news shows it's possible.

this reminded me about the movie LIVE FREE OR DIE HARD... surely a cat and mouse chase...

why dont they just release and end the hardware monopoly of Apple, this way they can attract more costumers, and sell the hardware seperately, oh well they will loose a lot of profit though... just my 0.02...

Yeah, that was a pretty good movie... at least I enjoyed it. I think Apple should sell their OS separate for retail, like you said, Hal. I at least know some people that would go out and buy it...

I wouldn't mind trying Leopard but there's enough other OS's out there so no need.

I've heard you have no choice in hell, you will be made to use a Mac
