What is Hackintosh?

Apple computers come with their operating system called Mac OS-X, that is intended to be run on Macintosh computers only. Mac OS-X is set to run under specific hardware conditions that only Macintoshes have.
Therefore, it has always been such a challenge for hackers who were struggling to make possible running Mac OS-X on PCs. Soon after the June in 2005, when Apple decided to stop using PowerPC processors and start using Intel ones, things seemed to start getting easier.

Hackintosh is for many a dream that came true. A gift brought abroad by the pirates that allows the Mac OS-X to be run on PCs through software and hardware modifications in order to get it closer to the Mac ones. It's an illegal practice and not recommended at all.
