OS X 10.4.1 on a PC
I've got a developer DVD iso from a torrent about a month ago. Yesterday backed up all the important data from my laptop (in fact, my wife's) and installed it. It went smooth (but it did trash all my partitions at the install stage). In about 45 minutes it was installed. It has a cool interface, it's fast, no lag whatsoever. I configured the ethernet adapter but no wireless and no sound. One little annoyance is the tapping on the touchpad isn't working. Power-management is ok (but a little too lite for my likings). Safari is ok as a browser. Startup and shutdown are as fast as on XP (the shutdown sequence runs a little faster though).
It will not have a long life on my laptop though, because it isn't practical. Sure, it looks nice, it was a good experience, but that's it! Back to XP Pro.
One more thing: OS X is light-years away from Vista. Microsoft should hire some of Apple's developers and designers!
