I installed osx86 on an MSI Wind using the slipstreamed MSI Wind specific iso, and all is going well. I'd still consider myself testing the waters and may return to win xp but wonder, if I make the commitment and purchase a retail copy, will I be able to download os x updates?

I'm no expert on the subject but I'm going to say probably not. Regardless of whether it's from a torrent or retail copy, it's still cracked and that's a big no-no according to the EULA.

Yes, with a retail version, you can normally install updates but sometimes it's a little complicated. For example, on a dell 9, to update to 10.5.7 you basically install the update but then you have to boot into safe mode to re-install the efi file. It's different depending on your computer so I would do more research before updating.
