This intrigues me.

Apparently, some series of geeks managed put together a way to install the latest version of OS X (OS X.4 Tiger) on normal PC hardware.
Interesting.
It remains to be seen what Apple will do - if anything. There is some speculation that they are going to use this as an excuse for licensing out the OS and proving the failure of the Trusted Platform Module which is touted by Microsoft as "a chip is meant to verify trusted computers on a network and prevent malicious code from running on PCs. " Critics say other wise. They contend that TPM was created as a way for Microsoft to ensure its monopoly.
Either way, I am curious to see what develops of this story.
Wired has an article on the project here
