OS X on a Toshiba

There have been reports of this happing ever since Steve announced the switch to Intel. But as far as I know, the actual running of OS X to run on a PC is still a hack and probably illegal, anywhere in the world. Apple have said they won't support it and probably can't stop it from happening, but sporting advertizing with this may be more than Apple will accept. dntknw.gif So, I'm not sure how valid the last phrase in the article might be. "PC World hasn't got itself completely in a twist." We'll see. smile.gif

They're not actually running OS X. They're just trying to make the machines look nicer smile.gif

I suppose you could say that they are suffering from OS envy wink.gif

We had a dwarfish intern that swiped desktop backgrounds and put them on XP back a year or two ago.  Seems to me there was also a theme/scheme/whatever that made XP look quite a bit like OS X as well.  He got giggles from it but I didn't get bowled over!
