Ah that explains something. Leave it to Apple to make people dumber.

Your opinion does not change the facts (there was a WikiPedia article in an earlier post).

Whether something is a PC or not is entirely related to the *hardware*, the Operating System has no relevance. Windows and Mac OS X run on the same hardware, ergo if one runs on PCs then the other does as well.

Of course, Apple tries to prevent or at least discourage you from running OS X on generic Intel-compatible hardware, they wouldn't want people to be able to get a Mac OS X machine for €300 if they can get them to buy their overpriced (imho) stuff instead...


* as usual this is imho (unless stated otherwise); feel free to disagree, ignore or try to change my mind. Agreeing with me is ofc also allowed, but makes for much worse flamewarsarguments.

It is a full moon night and ... bèèè! ... the Weresheep are out...
