Installing Mac OS X Leopard on PC

install leopard pc

[Windows only] Apple officially released their latest Mac OS X Leopard on the 26th of October but hackers have already got their hands into it. A hack version of Leopard that works in PC has been released on the 28th October, 2 days after the official release. Now, you don’t have to practically own a Mac to install and experience Leopard.

Folks at dailyapps provide a step by step guide on how to install Leopard on your PC. You can check it out if you are interested, follow and install on your PC if you wanna see how cool this latest Mac OS is, but in the end Leopard is not meant for PC. More problems will arise later, from my point of view.

    It’s a good thing for people without Macs to try the Mac OS X. I have tried Mac OS X Tiger this way installing on my laptop. Some drivers can be unsupported, mostly its wifi, networking, vga and sata disk drivers.

    Good luck for those who wanna give it a try!

    Though the osX is not meant for the PC, the engine that powers the Mac are now PC based anyway. As mention, it is good to try try and play play, it is not good as a long term OS, you are better off buying a Mac than doing this…

    i dont think leopard will run well, if at all, on ur computer. it needs 512 mb AT LEAST to run on a mac, and 1 gb is recommended. it might work if you buy some more memory

    If Microsoft would get their heads out of their butt’s, they would develop a good OS like the Mac’s use. But, then again, they’re not smart and they’ll always have their heads stuck up their rear end. I am thinking of buying a Mac but the only thing stopping me is the cost and I’ve got too many apps that won’t run on a Mac.

    Stratman,

    I don’t think cost should be an issue anymore. You can pick up a good MacBook with decent specs for around $1500AUD. And while that may be more than a HP, Dell, Acer whatever you need ot remember that the MacBook’s (and any mac) can run Windows. For alittle more you are getting something that can do basically anything out there.

    And I think you sould be surprised how many things out there exist to be used for Mac. Minus games I say you would find everything you need on the net.

    Keep in mind that a survey was done a few months ago regarding Mac VS PC. Not counting business and corporate, so home users it is around 60% Mac users. Meaning with Macs beating windows in home use more and more applications will be made avialable for Mac users.

    It is sad however that Apple will most likely never release OS X on a PC Platform. Mainly becuase they make there money from Hardware, not Software.
