New MacOS 10.4.4 hacked for non-Apple x86 PCs

Those who wish to tempt fate will find a hacked version of Mac OS 10.4.4 available to run on Intel-based PCs other than the ones approved by Cupertino.

If you're willing to download illegal software and know your way around a kernel, you can find links to the modified patches in the Mac OS X86 forums.

The hacker who claimed to have developed the patches said that it was still a "work-in-progress." But "Maxxuss" also passed along this humorous limerick said to be found inside the OS.

"Your karma check for today:
There once was was a user that whined
his existing OS was so blind,
he'd do better to pirate
an OS that ran great
but found his hardware declined.
Please don't steal Mac OS!
Really, that's way uncool.
