  Old  Mac on a PC?

Hey all,

I've been wanting to have a go at using Final Cut Studio for a while now. It looks like a fantastic program for editing videos.

I then wondered, is it possible to produce a dual boot PC that boots both PC and Mac?

I know that your able to install XP on a macbook, but are you able to install Mac on XP?

It's possible, but not in a program like way. I don't remember where, but there was this article that showed you how to rework your computers framework or something like through command prompt, it was really confusing, and didn't have a high success rate (only worked on certain Intel chips). If you want mac, I'd recommend just buying one, then putting windows on it, it's so much easier with Parallels (run both at same time).

Yes you can but its illegal and you could get into some serious sh!t if you done it. If your wanting osx on your computer just get a mac.

Just think about what you said there. If you want osx on YOUR computer... just get a mac? Hardly a realistic solution, even though there isn't a realistic solution for this problem as one side is illegal and the other is absurd.

I was considering earlier this year on getting a macbook, but I'm worried that I'll pay out all my hard earned cash and then regret it
I don't want to do anything illegal in the process of doing this, if there is a legal way to do so, say so

There must be some sort of Mac Emulator, like there is a Windows Emulator for Linux.

Something like this:
http://www.emulators.com/
I guess. No guarantees; I've never tried that.
