The good news is that there is a confirmed hack of the Intel authentication scheme that is used in the new Mac OS X for Intel. Basically the new OS X for Intel has some special electronic gizmos that allow for OS X to be installed on those Mactel machines and not any other x86 machine. The big news is that some people managed to crack the authentication scheme to allow for the OS X for Intel to be installed on any x86 machine. And the word on the street is that it was installed on a PC notebook.
