I didn't think I'd be able to get my Hackintosh any better than it was before, but I have - partly thanks to Apple (as strange as that may sound). If you have a Hackintosh and are ready to do a bit of fiddling (which I assume you are if you've decided to make a Hackintosh in the first place) then I'd recommend getting the Leopard 10.5.7 update.

As some of you would know I've undertaken an increasingly popular project - the Hackintosh (which I also called an iHac). It originally started when Apple moved over to Intel chips and could possibly be one of their worst decisions in terms of keeping a closed OS that would only work on Apple hardware. Since then people have found that the OS X operating system will work on computers that aren't Apple based because OS X is actually based on a UNIX variant called BSD. The only things stopping you from installing OS X on a PC is the boot process and the drivers available for your hardware.

For all those who love the idea of running Apple Mac OS X on a non Apple computer then you'll be very happy to know that coming soon is a bootloader which is graphical and supports EFI booting so that you can boot OS X from a Vanilla Kernel.
