emulating "mac os" on pc

i heard that it is possible to emulat mac os on pc but. i have no idea of woh it can be done and what version of mac os.
For emulating "mac os" on pc try this:

• As of now, "emulating mac os on pc" is possible but the result is unusable. (because apple has not released a retail version of mac for pc, the version they sell will only run on intel hardware sold be apple ) ... ... first you have to get a developer image for Mac OS, then patch it according to your needs. Even after that you will be able to see the hdd as ~6GB....
  
• www.parallels.com Run Windows on Intel-powered Apple with Parallels Desktop. Download!

can i run both OS (vista or xp and Leopard) on a mac?

For can i run both OS (vista or xp and Leopard) on a mac? try this:

• yes, their is an app you can download (i forgot what it is called) but yes you can download the app load windows and fully use windows and mac
  
• On any Mac with an Intel processor. Use Parallels or Fusion or Boot Camp in OS 10.5.
  
• Yes you can. In fact, I am currently running four OS's on my macbook (Leopard, Suse Linux, XP & Vista) . For that, you need a virtual machine software like VMWare Fusion or Parallels. You can simply install Windows using the VMWare and run Windows just like an additional software on a mac (in a window or full screen). VMWare & Parallels may cost around 79$
  
  The other free way is to install windows directly through the bootcamp feature in leopard. The only disadvantage is that you have to restart your computer every time you want to switch between two operating systems, which is kind of a hassle. Personally, I would highlighly recommend VMWare Fusion for its performace over Parallels and for the fact that you don't have to restart the Mac to run it.
  
• Yes. You need Mac OS X Leopard and a copy of Windows. It is VERY easy.

Mac People: Please help with my icons!!!?

I have an imac os x and i cant remember how i made the icons on my desktop so big, now i want them small again. If you know, please include the steps to change them back. Thanks!!!
For Mac People: Please help with my icons!!!? try this:

• I go with the "control click" (pretty much the same function as right click on a pc) and choose "view options"
  
• Right click (Or control click) on your desktop and click "Show view options". Then the scroller at the top sets size.
  
  That should be it.
  
  
  Hope that helps!
  
• Sam, Xaeno, and Janet are all right. I don't know who gave Sam the thumbs down but he is right.
  
• go to the Apple on the top left [click]
  go to preferences [click]
  go to dock [click]
  slide the "Dock Size" to your liking
  slide the "Magnification" to you liking
  [click] top left corner (to clear preference screen)
  WHAA - LAHH IT`S DONE!
  PEACE!
  SEA~
  
• In the dock, click the system preferences icon. Inside there click display icon and adjust the screen resolution to higher numbers.
  
• The only way I know to change the size of the DOC bar, is to go to preferences click the doc icon and make the doc size small and reduce the maginfication towards min. You can choose doc placement @ the bottom, left, or right. Good luck
  
• "right" click on desktop or on a group of icons. Change the view options. There should be an icon size preference.

what makes a mac cool?

the fact they can run os x and windows or the hardware? But a mac and a pc have the same basic hardware and you can run os x on a pc if you hack it. I preferer PCs.
PLUS macs are more expensive
all the the virus protective and user compatability is in the software
For what makes a mac cool? try this:

• smaller, more compact. PCs are ugly. Macs are reliable. They have apple care and apple stores that you can bring the computer to.
  
• Macs don't get viruses like how a PC does, also Macs are graphic oriented for people into art, graphic design, music, movie making, editing, writing music and it has better visual quality. Since Macs are made specifically for people in these professions, they are not the most popular computer you would find in every home across the US.. thats what makes it cool.
  
• size in comparison to memory capacity in comparison to the thinkpad(of corse i am talking about the macbook air)
  
• Mac is known for it's advertising. It's what gets them where they are. Otherwise, what they offer is just the same as the rest, besides the fact that Pc's are more Universal in hardware and software.
  
  If I were too buy one, it would be just for the looks of it. The functionality is nothing you can't get for free with Linux, or Windows.
  
• Overall, they are more reliable. In addition, there is more helpful support available because everything is made by the same company. Vendor specific problems are virtually eliminated, and software made for Mac typically runs more efficiently than software for the PC- except for games, which most PC fanboys criticize the Mac for right off the bat.
  
• Marketing. Apple has marketed their products to try and seem stylish. So people think they are cool because they have a mac.
  I've already got my flame retardant suit on for people to get cranky at me for that about.
  Some of their design features are innovative but in the end its all because people are trying to buy into an image.
  
• Macs are like puppies. They bounce and make cute noises :DDDD
  
• I reckon it's the ability to run windows and mac OS's... Oh, and mac's apparently* don't get any viruses.

Why cant PC games run on Linux or a Mac?

Yeah. I was just wondering Do games companies make games specifically for Windows OS? Would it be possible for Linux or Mac borrow / use some of the technology from Microsoft to integrate into their OS. Why isn’t this technology available to other companies if it has such a negative and dominating the gaming market ? Thanks, all view are very much so welcomed
For Why cant PC games run on Linux or a Mac? try this:

• Its the type of coding, Each uses a different type of code so they don't work with one another. That the same reason viruses attack only windows and not other os's mainly.
  
  It wouldn't matter to the companies to make games for the rest of the 4 - 5% using other OS's. Even hardware manufactures are specific for the O.S, because drivers aren't avilable in other os's.
  An for them to recode the entire game to the new code would be a huge waste of money for them.
  
  Basically you have tons of reasons, but certain companies do. Warcraft 3 is for Mac and PC.
  An Doom recently was ported to linux
  
• Most of the PC games r made for window OS like xp,vista....
  this is b'coz of majority of usage....Further linux is very simple to use...& not compitable for most of 3D games....
  
• Linux has a lot of the tech available. The two main problems are:
  1) devs like to use Microsoft's DirectX
  2) Both Nvidia and ATI refuse to make fully functional drivers in linux. They may for mac, but I'm not sure.
  
  In reality it's not as bad as all that, though, and it's getting better. The open-source ATI and nvidia drivers can do most basic functions for their cards, and open-source graphics libraries have gotten so good that devs don't need directX to make good games. In fact, the ps3 is leaving directX in the dirt.
  
  A lot of very good games have been ported to linux. Quake 3 and 4 have been linux-ported for a long time. And within the last 2 or 3 years, commercial developers have actually been SELLING linux titles, something practically unheard of till now.
  
  here is THE place to browse the BEST linux games, as well as porting utilities. There are very good, 3-d accerated games there, and ports for such new games as Medal of Honor Allied Assault. Most are free, and the commercial titles are listed too.
  
  http://happypenguin.org/list?start=11&sort=category
  
  Check it out. A lot of people use linux, including the best hacker/gamers, and companies are starting to notice how a lot of us don't like Microsoft. The Windows monopoly has been eroded away significantly, directX no longer dominates graphics libraries. The main thing now is to get better drivers for ATI and Nvidia hardware, either open-source or to pressure them to develop them.
  
  If you have an x86 processor, you can emulate windows with Wine. If you google "wine windows emulator" you'll find the Wine repo. There are a lot of people who successfully play World of Warcraft in linux, and detailed how-to's, though you'll need a fast PC. Since it's emulation, it's not ideal, that's why you need a powerful pc. x86 means an intel cpu.
  
  -edit--> the port of Doom is ancient history, many years ago. check the link. Try legends, or Wolfenstein: ET.

What OS should I get??

I ws wondering should I get Windows XP with SP2, Linux(with a windows emulator), Vista (once SP1 comes out), or Mac OS X Leopard. Im going to use it for gaming, coding,video editing, and sound editing.
For What OS should I get?? try this:

• Gaming: Windows XP (nothing else really has enough games available for it, and Vista...well, avoid it like the AIDS it is)
  Everything else: OS X (though, personally, I'm partial to Adobe Audition for sound editing, which is sadly Windows-only)
  
• Windows XP service pack 2.
  The most user-friendly OS you can buy.
  
• windows Xp SP2 or windows Vista
  xp is better than Vista
  
• Go for WIndows XP servicepack 2.
  
  Its stable and have no issues.
  
  I am using it for last few years for gaming, coding, graphic designing, video and sound editing and a lot more..
