I expect that Apple has some code buried in OS X to ensure it will only run on their Intel hardware. They make their money from the hardware, not the software - unlike MS.

Oh, running Windows on a Mac is dead easy. Apple has their free "Bootcamp" software and their are a few commercial products as well.

Edited to add -apparently it can be done. http://www.macbreaker.com/2014/01/in...th-niresh.html

Mac
 
Hi there,

Works absolutely fine. Modern mac hardware is just standard intel chipsets and graphics etc. I am typing this from a 'mac' made from a PC motherboard, Intel core i5 processor, displaying on an apple 30" display. It has run flawlessly every day for the last 5 years.

If you are interested in building a PC from scratch and knowing that the components are 100 percent compatible, I suggest you google tonymacx86.

If you'd like to see if what you have will work, then see..

OSx86

Hope this helps.
