A new variant of Mac OS X for Intel began surfacing on Internet sites early Thursday, boasting the ability to run on any x86 based computer. The leak has apparently been cracked to bypass the protections that prevent Apple's development kits from running on any unofficial system.

Although many believed it was only a matter of time before such a leak occurred, Apple had taken stringent measures to ensure the Intel version of its operating system stayed locked down, including purportedly using hardware-based security with a TPM chip, otherwise known as Palladium. Videos of Mac OS X on an Intel laptop were posted by a French Mac enthusiast site Wednesday.

It's no rumor, Bob. I'm running it on my PC right now. It was leaked to the public. Try some BitTorrent sites.

Just so y'all know, the rumors are false. The leak will not allow you to run OS X on an Intel or AMD PC.

Actually, it's very true. The requirements are still a bit foggy, but it has been done.

Oh, shoot.. I stand corrected. Oops!

Link

Is that it?

First, I would suggest removing the link. I don't think that kind of stuff is allowed here (anyone know for sure?).

That is not the actual OS X x86 Developer DVD, but rather a cracked image for VMWare that can supposedly be unpacked, mounted, and ran without too much work.
