I reckon for a change I'm going to give it a try.

I want to see how good 'Final cut' video editing package is too.

In the comments it says that the guide is for Leopard and not Snow Leopard, I know hee haw about hackintosh but just incase it makes a difference and you didnt notice. Wink

Good luck though my head hurts just reading through the guide.

It's worth a shot, but it's not all that if I'm honest.

Worth a shout though, but I suspect you probably won't use it much. I'm more likely to go Ubuntu than OSX, though it's a bit less slick and polished, though I'm eternally annoyed by OSX's inability to actually maximise a window properly, and for the want of being different, completely mixed up the close, minimise and maximise buttons and move them into a different corner..it's not like there is a defacto standard having them min/max/close on the right now is there :P

Just one thing, check your hardware against the HCL of OSX86. Some stuff is really picky... I actually installed off a retail OSX disk I.... bought (£25 tbh)... I actually have Windows 7 Home, Windows 7 Pro, and OSX 10.6 for a combined total of £65, legit versions...sneaky stuff Wink

I went with the ESX in the end, even though it was a slightly harder install because I... err... had recently installed an ESX for VMing up some development boxes, and it made sense. Though, on the plus point it comes across as a completely legit version, I don't need to hack anything for updates (or any of the special driver stuff you have to do with OSX86 (though not so much any more).

Tempted to upgrade to Lion when that comes out... though might leave it until I actually start going some app development.

In the comments it says that the guide is for Leopard and not Snow Leopard, I know hee haw about hackintosh but just incase it makes a difference and you didnt notice. Wink

There are other options as well. I think VMWare Player is free... and some of the lower versions are. You could install a VM on the Windows 7 box, then make a Virtual Device that you can install OSX on to. Again though, it's slightly more fiddly but there is also guides on that Insanely Mac forum.
