Among other things, a poem.

But seriously, the biggest problem you would have with getting OS X to run on non-Apple hardware is, as you already mentioned, the fact that no Wintel manufacturer ships a machine with EFI, and won't until at LEAST 2009, when Blackcomb is slated for release. (Keep in mind that Vista was originally slated for release in 2003. )

That of course is assuming that Blackcomb uses EFI, which is by no means a lock. Vista originally used EFI, and that was scrapped, along with just about every other feature that made Vista worth buying.

It is of course possible to modify/crack OS X to do this: but even if you did, Apple's legion of lawyers would be all over it.

Logic, logic, logic. Logic is the beginning of wisdom, Valeris, not the end.
