Putting Mac on a Dell
My friend has a Dell Inspiron 1150 and he wants to put OS X on it as well as the normal XP. We both don't know how to go about this, he bought the disks and everything, but if someone could link me to a site that could show me how to do this, it would be great. Thanks for the help.

Just bear in mind, you probably won't be able to make OS upgrades without breaking the installation, and of course apple won't help you with any support. Best of luck.
If that's the case, your buddy wasted the $ on his purchase - what he has will only run on a PowerPC Mac. The best you could hope for is running it through an emulator, and well, that's just going to suck.
Best to just pay $600 for a Mac mini and call it good if you want to run Mac OS X.

Oddly, I read that as Hershey...which is likely a good summation of the chocolate...even if I do eat it now and again (Hershey's chocolate, not the other stuff).

Please continue the EULA discussion there, if you have nothing better to do.

based on the title it sounds like you can just stack the mac on top of the dell. oh you mean OS X on a dell.

Mac OS X does not run on non-Apple computers.
