Anyone got a new MAC that runs on Intel Processors yet?

My buddy got one. They are very nice computers. I've thought about buying one and selling programs for it.

I've seen the commercials. You can run a dual boot on one and have Windows/Mac OS. Can you run the MAC OS on a regular intel computer though?

The commercials are very funny! You can view them at http://www.apple.com/

I think you can get a patched MAC OS that will run on regular intel computer. You'll have to do some searching for that.

Or alternatively install a linux distro and head to http://www.gnome-look.org/ for a "mac" theme...

A friend had PEAR running on windows (basically an apple emulator)

I have never used a mac, but would love to have a go!

I remember when I saw that commercial, and it was like "Something amazing has happened..." and I thought they had discovered the cure to AIDS or cancer, so when they said they were combining Intel with the Mac I was a little let down.
