Mac OSX Leopard hacked to install on PCs
Apparently Leopard doesn’t just let you run Windows on your Mac, but now, with a little work, the OS runs on a PC too!
Installing Tiger on a PC isn’t news, but it’s surprising to see Leopard hacked so soon. On Thursday, the day before Leopard hit the streets, the folks at OSx86SCENE posted instructions for installing Leopard on a PC.
The method only works with an Intel machine, and you’ll need the Leopard 9a581 GM DVD image, the provided zip file containing all the extras needed for the guide, and a blank DVD-RW or a spare partition.
After skimming the instructions, the method seems fairly easy, but proceed at your own risk. Obviously, Apple support will do nothing to help you should you fail. Then again, they’re not always helpful even when you do it Apple’s way.
If you’re wondering about the legality of all of this, it should be legal assuming you use your purchased copy of OSX Leopard, but if you’re a rebel, I hear the torrents could help you out.
