Been thinking about trying to install OS X on your non-Macintosh PC, but don’t feel like hacking a bunch of configuration files to get the system up and running? In another week or two, you may not have to. EFiX plans to release a bootable USB stick that is purported to have software that will let you install OS X on any PC, as long as you have a retail installation DVD.
Keep in mind, even though you will need to buy a legal copy of OS X to use this method, installing OS X on a non-Apple machine is still a violation of Apple’s terms of use.
It’s not entirely clear how the EFiX USB stick works, but it does appear to work — under some circumstances at least. OSx86 contributor netkas got his hands on an early version and shot the video above showing what happens when he used the stick with an OS X restore disc and his Macbook. You won’t be able to get your hands on one until the developers begin selling the USB sticks on June 23rd.
