For most people though, just the “coolness” factor and thrill of getting it working without spending money on Apple hardware are reason enough to try. Mac OS X has a lot of appeal: the graphics are rich, security is higher than Windows, it’s generally easier for beginners to get used to, and there’s some excellent software available for creative professionals. Apple’s desktop OS is finely tuned to work with its own hardware, software and online services: an entire ecosystem. We’re referring, of course, to running Mac OS X on any ordinary PC, something that the Cupertino giant does not like, endorse or acknowledge in any way. The enjoyment won’t be the same, but the whole point is to expand users’ options and give them the choice. Today, it’s possible to take a small chunk of that Apple experience and use it on your own, outside the confines of the expensive ecosystem built specifically for it.
