Make a Mac out of a PC

Now apparently you can do the exact opposite, something I never even considered until now.

This company called EFiX has created this bootloader that allows you to run Apple OSX on ordinary PC hardware. Amazing thing is that this is getting excellent spotless reviews from big media sources.

Basically allows you to completely duplicate a $2,700 MacPro for $800 of PC hardware. Plus you can still run Windows 7 and Linux. Only thing is that it officially supports a limited (but name brand) list of hardware. I watched the BIOS config on the Tekzilla videocast and it literally look less than 5 min, and then they booted OSX.

So if anyone you know is considering building a desktop, they might want to check this out.
