Colonel Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 Uhm... I think I understood your question... Running OSx86 (ex. uphuck) is technically a "bootleg" copy of OS X, per se. Since you're not running OS X on a real Apple Macintosh, you're violating your EULA, and since you didn't even BUY it, it's illegal anyway...

skunkmere Posted September 23, 2007 Author Share Posted September 23, 2007 ok cool so its illegal. but is it the same os as tiger? also if i buy osx from apple and install it on my pc will it still be illegal? will a leagal version work? thanks for answering my post colonel.

jawnsixteen Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 yea i'm almost positive its just the tiger os, just maybe packed a little different. In the end, pretty much everything that is done concerning this stuff can be deemed illeagal Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/64125-what-us-unpuck/#findComment-453850 Share on other sites More sharing options...
kickabutt Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 Original OSX is heavily protected, it's impossible to install a retail OSX on a PC, that's why we have all these uphucks etc. they have been hacked to remove the protection things.

~pcwiz Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 Uphuck is the same as the real Tiger except to slim down the size they cut out some extra apps, etc. but they can be installed manually. Its is bootleg, but it is real "mac". Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/64125-what-us-unpuck/#findComment-454759 Share on other sites More sharing options...
