- From the site you pointed me at:

http://wiki.osx86project.org/wiki/index.php/FAQ#Do_I_need_Apple_hardware_to_run_Mac_OS_X.3F
http://wiki.osx86project.org/wiki/index.php/TPM

OS X is designed to not run on hardware without Apple's "Trusted
Platform Module."

That said, it looks easier to bypass than I realized. Kudos to the
hacker community on that one.

No, I assume that *some* of them are good at it.

You want to lock out the few good coders, just because there are a bunch
of bad ones?
