Full FeedEFiX brings OS X to the rest of us
For those of you who are Mac fans at heart, but not at wallet, we have the thing for you: the EFiX OS X dongle The company behind the device claims that with the dongle, you can install any retail version of Mac OS on almost any PC. Just stuff the card into a free USB slot and voilà! The EFiX will supposedly take care of all the necessary cracks and patches needed to run Leopard or another version of Mac OS right on your PC. This has the potential to be very popular among those who already have a PC but have a Mac longing; it also has the potential to alert Apple’s legions of lawyers.
This product sounds off numerous scam alarms, but an OSX86 developer proves the product to be real. No word on price yet. As for release date, rumors point to later this month. The dongle would have been out sooner had supposed “sabotage” not occurred.

OK “Mac lovers” ...
If you don’t want to pony up the cash to run the OS legally, then you should just install Ubuntu or some other Linux variant and be done with it.
Apple is a hardware company. If nobody buys their hardware, they have no reason to continue to develop OS X. You certainly aren’t paying for it on your PCs - you’re running over to The Pirate Bay and downloading a torrent, aren’t you?
Seriously ... Macs aren’t that expensive. And at least I don’t have to worry that a software update is going to tank my laptop… and everything is going to work out of the box. Still, I guess if you love to tinker, this might be appealing. I grew out of that mentality once I started to develop and sell software myself.
