Re: [OT] Mac Vs Window (was [OT] 'kin Windows!)

Geoff,

You are right. So if you buy a Mac OS license you are still breaking the
law by installing it on non-Mac hardware. Problem is when you buy a license
you aren't buying a product so the laws are different.

I wish some group would challenge this, after all what actually is Mac
hardware now that the Motorola / IBM PowerPC is dead? The CPU is Intel and
most ofther components are just PC hardware with different firmware. So how
is a Mac not an IBM PC clone, along with every other hardware vendor of
PCs?

It just makes me laugh (I used to be cross) that I can virtualise Windows,
Linux et al on Mac Hardware but I can't virtualise Mac OS on PC hardware.
