Psystar has released a product called Rebel EFI, allowing the installation of any operating system on almost any PC hardware. This software could be cutely used, to run the Apple’s OS X on a PC.

Apple of course does not want this and sued several times against Psystar, because it is permitted and listed in the software agreement to run OS X on non-Apple-hardware.

A very required assumption for Rebel EFI enabling running OS X, seems to have a Intel processor, because since the release of Snow Leopard only Intel CPUs are supported.

On a Mac, hardware and software are the best friends and everything runs smooth. That is a proof and you can check this out by yourself in any store selling Apple products if you do not own one.

I am really afraid, that OS X may get a bad reputation from all those jealous PC users thinking their Windows OS and hardware is much better. They will run that on cheapest hardware and the smoothness of the OS X workflow is gone. Of course this is the wrong way and I am sure they will blame Apple of bad codings.
