Sheesh peoples..... READ THE FORUM RULES before posting.

#17 | Actually I was the one saying not to do it because it's illegal, so don't tell me to read the rules, I'm not telling anyone to engage in any sort of act. Also there probably is a legal way of doing for experimental purposes under permission of both companies. That is why I was saying it is not efficient and you should not waist your time trying. Read my first comment then you'll see what I'm actually saying.

#18 | Lone Stranger, there are many ways that "could" be considered legal, however these may bend the rules of the lisence a little bit.
Also, if you are going to go for windows, windows 7 has a distinctly mac feel about the desktop. It does have the origional windows start bar etc, but you can pin things to the dock like you can in mac! Also, it seems to run a lot faster than vista AND xp. Its great!

#19 | If the solution is to have both operating systems, then buy a Mac, install VM Fusion or Parallels and install Windows. It will operate just like any other Mac application, with drag and drop between the operating systems. |  | Community Moderator with 16,959 posts. | | Join Date: Jun 2002 Location: Cowtown, against my will Experience: PHD -poop handling degree |

[/RANT] | Agreed. Any further mention of illegal activities in this thread will get it shut down. | | | Senior Member with 192 posts. | | Join Date: Jun 2009 Location: Los Angles CA Experience: Intermediate/Learning |

#21 | Wait I don't understand.
You still can't talk about illegal things if you are trying to prevent them.
Or just being honest about them and saying it is not good.
Like you need to help some people understand. | | | Senior Member with 512 posts. | | Join Date: Oct 2008 Location: New Zealand Experience: Chuck Norris |

#22 | The rules say that you can still discuss illegal things, it just states that you may not give advice or encourage them. Could you please clarify what this means, because im in the same boat as Alkinson. If we have breached the rules in any way, I apologise.

#24 | Just don't encourage anybody to do it. Nobody has crossed the line yet but please be careful. It was peck1234 that suggested installing the Mac OS on a PC. I also deleted an expletive from his post. This site is PG-13 so let's keep the language clean.

James | Really? Please send me a PM with a quote where it says that. Of course illegal activities can be discussed in certain contexts. | | | Senior Member with 192 posts. | | Join Date: Jun 2009 Location: Los Angles CA Experience: Intermediate/Learning |

#28 | Cookiegal, i will apologise. I had a good read of the rules a while ago and from memory there was a statement such as the one I suggested. I will admit to not reading the rules again before posting that, as I thought my memory was sufficient. It obviously wasn't.
With all my respect
James

So I think everyone understands its orginal roots, but just knows that today it means from microsoft.
