Still, this doesn't mean that it is legal to do so.
It is not illegal to run Mac OS X on non Windows hardware. Let's get that straight right off. YOU WOULD NOT BREAK ANY LAWS. You're not having to break any DRM, or crack encryption, etc. The few tricks you have to do are perfectly legal. That is why Apple hasn't been able to shut down any of the websites aiding people in making Hackintoshes. The only thing you'd be doing is violating the EULA, which IS NOT ILLEGAL.

As long as you pay for a copy of OS X, you're not breaking the law. End of story. What is so hard to understand about this?
