It has recently come to our attention that installing the OS X software on anything but a Mac violates Apple's End User License Agreement. We received an anonymous email informing us of the legality issues which referenced the Psystar case and we definately don't want to recreate that case. It was never our intention to violate Apple's EULA in any way. In light of this, we have discontinued this offer.
Please send all correspondence to info@osxonapc.com

How stupid can someone be?

Its one thing for an individual to create a hackintosh. Its another thing altogether for a company to sell it. Both are illegal but in the former case Apple is not being harmed unless you try to resell it with Mac OSX running on it. But if you seek to sell Apple software on any other than an Apple laptop or desktop hardware, you're definitely violating not only the EULA terms but Apple's rights. They won't go after people doing a home project but they will definitely crack down are on any one breaching their protected trademark, copyrights and patents. Psystar learned a very costly lesson.
