Cool Install Mac OS X on your PC?

There's a new and easy way of installing Mac OS X on your PC! That's Efix (www.efi-x.com). Efix is a dongle which allows you to install Mac OS X on a regular PC without the hassle many had to go through before that.

Is Efix going to be a success? Buying a cheap computer, the Mac OS X system and Efix could make owning/using Mac OS X around three times (or more) cheaper than buying an Apple machine.

Will that drive changes in the Apple business industry: prices going down, for example?

I'm eager to hear what people have to say about that!!! Please, send your comments!

No, I don't think so. Only because you can already install OSX using dual boot. So, techs that need to utilize multiple oss for testing, already have this achieved.

I came across a article about EFix on another blog site. Doesn't running any Apple Operating System say that it has to be on an Apple-manufactured computer? I believe that is the controversy behind Psystar's Mac Clones.

didn't know about this Efix, but I knew there were ways of installing OS X on a PC.
About the success of Efix... I doubt that.
