It’s legal to run vista and xp on a Apple and realy if you by the
software it’s your’s right? And Apple switched to intel so it should be

Peter,

I also installed it on USB harddisk before for my Thinkpad X61 tablet having 4 gigs of ram. Except HDD operations, was working fine and was able to get resolution of 1400 x 1050 (I dont remember height exactly) with dual monitor support. It was a great experience.

Will try to install Windows and Mac together on laptop’s harddrive and will see how it works.

About legal-illegal, as you said – take a risk ;)

@savvasmalamas – I’ve not tested it extensively as a development machine, with 512Mb RAM I’m not really considering running Eclipse or Flex Builder on it.

Software I’ve tested so far runs pretty well and have had no crashes so far. The display driver is not perfect, can currently only run on 1024×768 but there might be something out there that fixes this.

@ashvin – the jury is out on whether its legal, certainly Apple’s EULA doesn’t allow OS X to run on non-Apple hardware but there is debate on whether that is enforcible.

I own a copy of Leopard and wanted to try this as a bit of a geeky challenge — won’t give any legal advice on whether or not to do it so proceed at your own risk ;)

Nice Pet.
Except the airport issue is there anything else that makes it non stable
environment for using it as a main dev machine?
