If anyone missed it Apple ditched the old Power PC CPU's and migrated to Intel CPU's, in fact much of the Apple hardware listed is available in many generic PC/Laptop configurations so to ensure the OS would remain a Apple only OS they went with EFI ( Extensible Firmware Interface) instead of the BIOS ( Basic Input/Output System), then they added a module called a TPM ( Trusted Platform Module) its function, for now, seems to be to simply to avoid the possibility that Mac OS X could run on non-Apple computers. The second more plausible reason is that if Apple released the OS to the masses what compelling reason would anyone have to purchase Apple hardware? The two most likely reasons we would never see it happen, PC hardware manufacturers have so many different combinations of CPU's, chipset's and devices in their machines that Apple would have a hard time trying to make the OS work with all the possible hardware out in the wild. I have always wished someone would give Microsoft some competition and the Mac OS, if ever released to run on general PC hardware could challenge Microsoft for the desktop.

The third reason is related to the challenge of getting the Mac OS running on machines not designed or approved to run the OS. Some of you may be asking why anyone would bother trying to accomplish this when they could just buy a Mac to run OS X, Well a couple of reasons the first reason relates to the fact that not everyone can or wants to purchase a Mac, second reason relates to trying OS without investing in any hardware.
