| | I was recently surfing the web when i came across an article that talked about running Mac on Windows. I was wondering if anyone knows a program that might let me do this. If you follow this link http://reviews.cnet.com/Make_your_PC_look_...23.html?tag=vid you will see a tutorial program that allows you to change the appearance of your Windows XP into a Mac OS. THis is not what i am looking for. I am looking for a program that will actually run mac on XP. Can anyone please let me know if there is an application like that. |

The technology u r looking for her is called "Emulators". Mac Emulators are built for Pc's and their simple function is to allow you to install and operate on MAC OS. I always wanted to give this a try but never found the time or was too lazy ... so if you are successful with this, then drop us a "How To" tutorial Emulators Online (Site for a MAC Emulator)Emulators List (Site contains different emulators with specs. and site links)PearPC (A popular emulator for PC that stopped its updates late 2005)Hope this information helps. Regards Dhanesh.

You can run Mac OS on windows using Microsoft virtual PC . Its freely available on its mmicrosoft's website.But for running virtual pc system resources should be good because these emulators use a lot of system resources. They uses the actual CPU and RAM from the system and emulates the rest of the hardware.Not only MAC OS you can install install any operating system's on these virtual machines and can create your complete network of these machines.A person is only limited by his system resources.Currently i had installed four operating systems under my windows XP and had done networking between them.

I don't know if Virtual PC works with Mac... I know it works fine with PC based operating systems (Windows, Linux, Unix, BSD) [N]F

I am really very sorry freinds.Nightfox you are right that virtual pc doesnt works for MAC OS.Actually i had used it for PC based operating systems only and when i was downloading it i had read somewhere virtual pc 7 for mac so i thought there is another versionof virtua pc which is for running mac on windows but after reading your post i had checked it and it was for MAC OS for running windows on MAC. I had googled for it and found an article for running MAC OS on windows.Its at http://www.windowsdevcenter.com/pub/a/windows/2005/01/18/PearPC.htmland it uses pear pc as emulator.

After MACs shifted to the intel processor, i guess installing lepord would be same as installing windows, but with a slight hardware difference. I have read about people using OS 10.3 or 4 dont know exactly, but the one that ships with Macbook Pros. They can install the OS on a normal intel based desktop but it needs some tweaking to be done. Will find out more about this and post a confirmed legit witeup. Regards Dhanesh.

you can actually run MacOS X side-by-side with Windows XP on common hardware. However, doing so is highly illegal and I don't think I can tell you how to do it on Astahost either. Anyways, another way (however, slow) is to use VMWare. xboxrulz

I have tried to do the same thing and came across Mac on a stick (if you have a flash drive or read + write CD). It is not very good though the version is back from the 90's or something. I think the only way to get a modern Mac version would be to buy the Mac software, then install it to a new partition and change up your boot.ini (or minu.lst if your on linux) so you can choose to start windows or Mac (you will need an emulator as stated above). But while you’re at it have you ever thought about getting Mac with fusion? Mac hardware is much better then the stuff you find in PC's and you could run both Mac + PC at the same time. But this costs money so it might not be right for you unless you’re really need it or you are searching for a new computer. Other then Mac on a stick I don't think you are going to find any other way to run mac on a pc for free. Good luck and let me know if you find a better way  Sparkx

-question by zelda You are going to have to pull the OS files from somewhere, be it a ROM file or a CD, without downloading or having access to the files, there is no way to do this for "free," even downloading a Virtualization distro with Mac OS on it would cost money to activate the software, most likely. If you are interested in trying Mac OS but don't have the money, I'd suggest going on E-Bay and finding an older Mac OS versions for sale, you could probably get it cheap and play around a bit, if that's what you're interested int.

Why I May Be Installing Windows Xp Sp3 Again
(7) This is a sad tale of a man and his machine that would not start again. The story continues with a

Will Using Fdisk Corrupt Windows Partition?
(9) I remember doing this before in the past with a DOS partition. It wasn't working properly, so
the office tech told me to use fdisk and delete that DOS partition. Then recreate it. To my surprise
Windows still worked after that. I always thought that fdisk would corrupt the Windows partition
somehow since it was a destructive partitioning tool. So I have always used Partition Magic instead
for my partitioning needs. If I install Linux on a separate partition and decide to get rid of it
later using fdisk, Windows will still be intact right? From my understanding now,....

Can You Create A Folder Name "con"
Is it possible to create a folder named "CON" in Windows? (17) I tried in both Windows XP Home and Professional. If you try to make a folder named "CON" Windows XP
renames it back to what it was. So creating a new folder with the name "CON" just renames it to "New
Folder". The bug seems like a variable that got treated as a string or vice-versa. Trying to create
the folder from a cmd prompt failed with an error "The directory name is invalid.". This also works
when you try to create a file called "CON", or "CON.". ".CON" shows up the way it should. Somewhere
I found the reason that CON stands for CONsole which is device name but....

The Best Version Of Windows
(42) With all the different flavors of Windows, what in your opinion is the best version? Win95, Win98,

users are in love with Win98SE for some reason? Is there any justification behind this? I mean
this is a version of Windows that is definitely not supported anymore, but is the security and
stability of this version that much better where it doesn't need support? Personally, I really
like Win2000 over any other version. It seems more secure and stable, and I'm pr....
