A new article on The Shape of Days entitled Mac OS X on Intel: Try before you buy? gives you ten very good reasons why it is possible to run Mac OS X on any PC right now. If not any version of Mac OS, then at least the version of Tiger given developers as part of developer transition kits.

From the article:

Think about it. Apple releases a developers-only preview release of Mac OS X for Intel. Itís a fully functional release of the operating system, not a beta or prerelease copy. It will work reliably, and it will run the vast majority of existing Mac applications unmodified via the Rosetta translation technology. But because this is a one-off developer release, itís of very little value to computer owners. Future software updates, like the soon-to-be-released 10.4.2 update, wonít install. Existing Mac software will run, but it will run in translation, which means it will be frustratingly slow. But according to reports, Appleís bundled iLife applications, major selling points for the Mac operating system, are already Intel-native and run at full speed.
