Allistah Posted March 10, 2007 Share Posted March 10, 2007 I read in one of the FAQs that it was legal for an Apple Developer to install OSX on a PC. Why is this? Anyone know why? The reason I ask is that I might fall into this category and I wanted to learn more about where it came from so I could learn exactly what is ok and what isn't. Thanks!

Allistah Posted March 10, 2007 Author Share Posted March 10, 2007 (edited) in the license it says that you cannot install OSX on non apple hardware. This is the text I was referring to: "Read this before reading the guide: There are only two ways to install OSX 10.4.6 legal on your Windows computer: 1. Become an Apple developer 2. You can also buy an Intel Mac (I would recommend the Macbook Pro), install Windows XP on it using Apple’s Boot Camp and remove OSX completely, so that you have a legally bought osx86 licence. This metod isn’t confirmed and most people say it’s illegal because the EULA says that you aren’t allowed to install OSX on non-Apple hardware. This means that for most people it is ILLEGAL to install osx on their computer. If you aren’t an Apple developer, leave page site now. This site is in no way liable or responsible for the actions of its visitors."

The Shaun Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 Apple has never allowed developers or anyone else to install OS X on non-Apple branded hardware.

macbrush Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 You may be referring to one of the very early days when Apple Intel hardware simply didn't exist, and some big developers such as Adobe. I read in one of the FAQs that it was legal for an Apple Developer to install OSX on a PC. Why is this? Anyone know why? The reason I ask is that I might fall into this category and I wanted to learn more about where it came from so I could learn exactly what is ok and what isn't. Thanks!
