Nobody here is against somebody geeky experimenting with a Hackintosh,
or even enjoying one personally.

But the idea that Hackintoshes will take over from Linux on standard
PC hardware for people fed up with Windows and it's malware is
laughable.  First, the number of modern PCs that can be converted to
OSx is very low.

Second, once you do have it running strong, Apple is out to stomp you
into the ground by any possible means: evil updates, legal threats,
etc.  Geeks can stay one step ahead of them (unless there's a really
nasty boobie trap in there somewhere) but regular users?  Not a
chance.
