OSX86 , if run on the correct hardware is as good as running it on the real thing itself, i got myself a powerful quad core Hack running smooth as butter.

but hey , i do own a real mac as well , so i do feel that my suedo 1337ness is doubled with this .

I think i must admit to the same

I've been wanting to make a hackintosh, but i doubt it ll ever happen

If you're using the hardware in your signature, you might want to look into it. You may be able to get it working without too much effort at all really.

Does anyone happen to know of a program that can check if your hardware is OSX compatible? I'm interested in a hackintosh, but i have no clue if my stuff is compatible.

Insanelymac is a good place to start, they have a huge hardware list. There was also Leopard Upgrade Advisor but the download link seems to be broken at the moment, maybe you'll have to ask someone for a copy.

Link.

I got the program, ran it and it saw all my hardware, but then i said "check hardware compatibility" and it takes like 5 minutes of "checking" and then ends up doing nothing, no green dots, no smiley, nothing.

    • Microsoft confirms Windows 11 26H2, urges IT admins to prepare for release

      By TheGhostPhantom · Posted

      26H2 absolutely will support ARM Windows just not on devices that came with 26H1. This is evident by the fact I am running 26H2, which on my MacBook Neo and Surface Pro 12 (inch), within a VM.

      It’s amusing how Microsoft is pushing IT admins as if this was a major, game-changing update. In reality, it’s just an enablement package that bumps the build number, which is disappointing compared to the more substantial 22H2 and 24H2 releases. Technically, 25H2, 26H1, and the upcoming 26H2 are essentially the same, differing only in support schedules. They could have included the Windows K2 improvements here, but chose not to. The era of Windows being in the backburner continues, and this 26H2 release feels like an afterthought. Shame, Nadella, shame.
