The only thing they’re doing “wrong” is violating a EULA.I know you’d love for it to be illegal to do something Apple doesn’t approve of, but it isn’t. Hackintosh is a pretty solid solution if you want macOS, with the price of a casual computer. This isn’t new, music has had this for ages—purchasing a record, tape or cd has never conveyed to the purchaser any rights other than to listen to the music. Your violation of Apple’s rights means the end to our privacy.“They don’t like the truth that their behaviors are illegal and they are stealing from Apple.”.We’re talking about people who PAY Apple for their software and PAY for the hardware. Comparing that to “stealing” is even more moronic than when the RIAA does it. This would be the only reason that I would make an exception to the entire process. Assuming I do my homework, once it’s up and running the OS X experience is going to be a whole lot better if I install it on more modern hardware… and Apple gains a sale.What’s better for Apple—spending $1300 on a Core i7 PC and running Windows or—assuming the user is technically capable—custom building a $1300 Hackintosh and buying retail Leopard, retail iLife, retail iWork (or the box set that includes all)?As a Mac user, I’d rather that those capable pick option number 2.It is illegal.
