hawkn564 Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 I dont understand why i cant just "buy" a copy of OSX for intel macs and instal it on a partition. I have a Dell XPS Gen 5, so if the reason is that it doesnt run well on PCs, that should solve it. So... uh... why?

jonz14 Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 (edited) To install OS X you have to have a TPM chip, and since dells don't have them, your stuck downloading the hacked version. Also, you can't buy a copy for Intel Macs, the install boxes you see at the stores are PowerPC only.
