Although Apple has attempted to prevent the Intel variant of its OS
from installing on generic hardware, a patch surfaced on the Internet
Thursday that enables Mac OS X 10.4.5 to work on non-Apple systems.
The update fixed several Intel-related bugs, but also added code to
stop those trying to install it on regular PCs.

A hacker named Maxxuss released the upgrade patch and plans to create
a full 10.4.5 installation routine. Those who install Mac OS X on
non-Apple hardware are unable to download updates directly from the
company, so these patches are the only way to take advantage of the
fixes made in each release. Maxxuss says some issues still remain,
such as problems with DVD playback and iTunes on systems with AMD
CPUs.
