Looks like Mac OS has been cracked for PC's.

What are your thoughts?

I toyed with the idea of running OS X on a PC at one time. But is it really the same as running it on a Mac? At least right now I doubt it is-- probably a lot of bugs or limitations, lack of device drivers, etc.

At this point I would still rather have a MacBook Pro than a PC with OS X.

I'd much rather have a MacBook Pro (or any IntelMac) with the option to run Windows on it...
I do not like those green links and spam.
I do not like them, Sam I am.

Not everything is going to work on the hacked version... they will always be behind. So if you will have problems, you cannot expect Apple to fix it for you... you will have to rely on the hackers...

I wouldnt even bother using OSx86 if you want the same exact experience as you are having with your Mac right now. You'd still be better off using Windows than OSx86.
