This is merely beating around the bush: if they say you can't use their product on machines other than those made by Apple, and you're supposed to agree to this before using the software, then you have a moral obligation to abide by the terms of that agreement. Whether it is legal, illegal, civil, criminal or otherwise is irrelevant to me: when I give my word, I keep it--or at least do everything in my power to do so.

But in the end, this debate is academic. Testing and developing software on a Hackintosh would always leave doubts as to how will that software perform on a standard OS X system. That uncertainty is unacceptable.

Not illegal. Just in violation of Apple's licence agreement.
Just out of curiosity, is not it the same thing?

Not if the license is legally void or even illegal itself
