Are there special versions of OSX that run on PC’s? I’d like to try it before buying a while apple system only to find out I don’t care for the OS.

Unfortunately, there is not a legal way to install Mac OS X on a PC, but an illegal, hacked version that runs on generic Wintel hardware is circulating in the software piracy community.

Instead, I'd suggest trying Apple's new Safari web browser for Windows -

It is still in beta-test stage, so an update will probably be available soon.

iTunes for Windows is another good free app from Apple.

Those two apps are very similar to the Mac versions, and fairly representative of all Apple applications.
