EFiX: The Hackintosh Dream

I have talked a few times about projects where I have put OS X on normal PC hardware, and the process has become less and less complicated as time has gone by. Now there is a group that is claiming to have simplified the process about as much as it can, and recent updates on their site are looking promising.

EFiX has been talking about a USB dongle that would allow you to install MacOS X from an official Apple disc straight to your generic, intel PC. In the past the process of installing Mac OS X to a normal PC has required a patched DVD that contains drivers and EFI emulation that would trick Mac OS X into booting from off-the-shelf hardware, which is why this project is so promising.

Their recent update to their site, though, not only speaks of an internal usb dongle that allows you to Macify your computer, but also a version made for notebooks and one that would plug into PCI slots. I have to admit, this sounds almost too good to be true, but they are saying models are ready.

Can't wait to see one of these in action. I'll keep details posted here.
