An anonymous reader has sent iTWire a screenshot of Mac OSX recently installed on the reader's PC saying the installation process was painless and took just one hour.

According to the reader, the installation took place on an Asus Laptop model A6K with 1G of RAM and an AMD Sempron chip running at 3Ghz.

Recently, Apple released its Boot Camp software, which enables new Intel-based Apple Macintosh computers to run Windows XP in dual boot mode. However, running Mac OSX is not licensed to run on non Apple PCs. When the company announced that it would shift to the Intel platform, it was adamant that it would prevent its software from running on Windows PCs.{moscomment}
