Have you tried InsanelyMac, or TonyMac? They're probably the two most detailed sources about OSX86 machines. Make sure you know everything about your PC's specs, since it simply may not be compatible and another operating system may have to be selected in replacement of OS X on Windows. It's not an easy thing to install for the most part, but good luck and check both of those sites. They both have forums as well and the regulars on them should know a lot more about what you want to do than the majority of us. :)

I had the same problem on my toshiba, I used multi beast Lion version and installed kexts for keyboard and mouse and it's fixed

So how do u used the multi-beast when your touch pad and keyboard werent working...

You may also want to check the osx86project website. I got a lot of information there when I was doing this. Finally gave up and bought a MacBook Pro, though. However, I can understand why you are trying to do so with your VAIO.

Thanks for understanding..actually i have tried OS X Lion on vmWare and i fell in love with it..i mean the app accession, the fluidity of the OS is superb!

      Any decent ITSM will A) have a web form that allows a user to raise a ticket, if you're writing an email you can write a ticket. B) Monitor a mailbox and auto-generate tickets based on inbound mails for those users that really can't get their heads around the concept that if you have an issue you go to support.mycompany.com and fill in the box. From your description you're having users email the desk, and then having a human read each one and manually raise a ticket on behalf of the user.

      Fixing things? Have you ever tried linux? Everything works out of the box nowadays in most common hardware. This includes Wifi and Bluetooth. If anything, if they return back to windows is because they haven't found an equivalent program which often used on windows.
