 | I hope apple will officially release OSX on PC, but that might just be a false hope.

 yeah, i dont think apple would ever release their software
 to run on any old hardware. However it is happening.
 
 I've been experimenting with VM (virtual Machine) it seems
 very stable for running dual or even multiple OS.

 | well you wouldn't find much in the way of linux programs in a store or anything
 
 you need a pretty good internet connection
 
 windows programs can run through a program called wine,
 
 50/50 chance it works though
 
 cedega can run more in the way of games,
 
 I'm only just getting started on it myself though, it's all
 seemed pretty straightforward so far, but I really don't
 know all that much about it, so don't take my word on
 anything.
 
 it's worth a go though, with the cd's that htey sound out
 you get a "live" cd, which basically boots up without you
 having to install it, so it's worth ordering a copy, it's a
 win/win situation

 | well, i don't know what x86 is, but apparently the new-ish version of the messageboard makes Safari crash now... (maybe
 because of the automatic refresh function?)
 
 so i'm using Firefox too...

 | well i'm using safari, not had a crash yet. 
 but it might explain the funny flickering effects i get when
 i come on the board.
