Has anyone successfully installed Mac OS on a desktop or laptop. From what i've been told, some features like printing, wireless connectivity or updates wont work on a hackintosh setup depending on the hardware.

Legally bought Leopard 10.6, just need information on what laptops for example would work with it. Ideally, would like to run windows and mac on on device if at all possible.

I have 10.6.7 running on my Dell Vostro A90 using NetbookInstaller. It runs surprisingly well.

The fact that you actually paid for the license is irrelevant, running OS X on non-Apple hardware is a violation of the license rendering it invalid. For your specific question, printing and wireless will depending you being able to find working drivers for the specific devices for OS X and updates will always run the risk of breaking your install because you're not using an Apple device.
