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.

what sort of apps do you have in mind?

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

I imagine it's slow as fuck as well if you're running it under VMWare.....

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.
