is OS X on a pc illegal?

so i was looking around on some mac forums, and there was a post asking about someone trying to install OS X on a pc, and the mod of the forum replied and stated that trying to install the Apple OS on non-Apple hardware was a violation of their software license agreement, but i was looking over the agreement a little and didn't see anywhere where it stated this. so, is it true?

I don't see anything

thats what i was saying, but every mac forum i've seen says that it is.
i think they're lying..



unless you were being sarcastic..in which case, oops. lol i just started reading it..


ok i believe them. lol

Well, it's not a crime, it's just a violation of the license agreement.

right.
therefore, no help is ever given. lol

Hey, why do people think that Apple doen't make a PC, I have 4 PC's 2 of them are Macs using OS 9.2 OS, one is an E machine using Windows XP OS and the other is a Mac using OSX OS, but they are all Personal Computers.

Oy. Not that this has anything to do with anything, but it's called shorthand. It's a convention now that gives everyone a paradigm within which to think, converse, make references. Everyone knows they're all personal computers, but just as PC is much shorter than "IBM-PC Compatible," so too "Mac" and "PC" are a convenient way to differentiate between platforms since they're shorter than "my personal computer running OS X Tiger 10.4.8" and "my personal computer running Windows Vista Release Candidate 2."

basically.
why do people argue common knowledge?

Sorry I started this, my message wasn't for the Professor, it was for the students, I also didn't think it was 'common knowledge', my first PC was a TRS80, just wanted the recent PC users to know that a Mac is a PC!

I'm fairly certain its not illegal but why?! Your going to envounter a lot of driver problems b/c the hardware may not work properly with the OS and thus you will probably have to practicaly write your own drivers.

OS X = based on BSD = Unix.
i dont think itd be too difficult..

And and and.. Afaik, Apple is submitting Leopard to The Open Group for Unix certification. If awarded, it will no longer be "based on." =)

oooh nice. very nice.

no its not, my friend has it on his PC, and i work at the apple store and my boss says its fine, and even if it was who gives a damn.

the mac forums give a damn as if you even mention a pc and OSX they wont give any help/support to you whatsoever. i tried installing it on my pc and i think the problem is that i need a usb keyboard because it wasn't detecting my logitech ps/2. at all. even a little. but it had no problems with my usb mouse. but i dont want to buy a keyboard when i'm not sure its the problem
