I have been toying with running a copy of Mac OS X Leopard on the PC recently and I have to say that after getting over the initial installation issues, it seems to have worked pretty well.  The disc basic tricks the OS into thinking it is running on Apple hardware, so while its not exactly 100% legal, it’s fun to play around with.
