Isn't OS X just for Macs? Can it be used on a PC?

OS X is for macs only, although the UNIX OpenBSD it is based on has run on PC's for a while now.
There are rumours that Apple will release OS X for PC's but these remain rumours. Anyone heard more on this??

Yup and not right now.
Conceivably, you could run Aqua, the user interface, on any BSD machine, but that's theory, not practice.
It would make it interesting, though, wouldn't it?

Go to Emulators.com to see their products for emulating a Mac on a PC.
Once a PC behaves like a Mac, it will run OS X 10.2.
