Macs have always had the reputation of being well, expensive. Lately with Intel Macs and the new unibody macbook pro's people have been flocking to get a mac. Not to mention the clever adverts on TV.

I own several PC's, one of which is a MacBook 15" from late 2007. Recently I decided to go on a little adventure and install OSX on a Non-Mac Machine (Won't tell you how, that's not the point). After waging war with drivers and compatibility I finally did it and had everything working on my Non-Mac Mac.

The interesting thing while doing this is what I found about Mac's and the hardware/software relationship they have.
