Yes i know people who have, but dont discuss it here as its technically illegal (it says in the OS X EULA that you cant install it on non apple hardware) and it doesnt work very well due to the fact that macs have a few differences to normal pcs (for one thing they use EFI instead of a BIOS)

If i am helpful, please give me reputation points.

I figured as much with OS X, but thanks for the heads up.

Hackintosh! slapple macks lie book! It's not microsoft that should scare us, It's those spooky folks over at Intel.

How the heck does a company that builds sub standard product, lead the market for years and then to boot, they manage to grab the other major commercial os manufacturer!

Apple have opened themselves up to all kinds of backyard hackery!

Just imagine, the skullduggery of it all :-o !

But the main part is, that it won't let you format the HDD or anything else except exit from the installation.

Format the hard drive as exFAT. This workaround gets you past the Windows 7 install problem as well.
