Have you been wondering if you should get a Mac or a PC?
Well now you can have both!!!
Using ideneb, which is mac its just been modded to work on PC hardware.
If you think that it will be slow or its not a "real" version of Mac boy oh boy are you wrong!
It is very fast and it is the "actual" "real" version of Mac, but like I said earlier its been "modded" to work on a normal pc, as long as your cpu supports sse sse2 and sse3, if you are unsure if your cpu supports them than you can use cpu-z which you can get at this site:
http://www.download.com/CPU-Z/3000-2086_4-10050423.html?tag=mncol
just run the .exe file you won't have to install anything.
Ok so now you want to know how to do it don't you!!!
Well you can do that by following my guide here:

Or you can read my other guide on my blog.

Mac on a PC!!!
Ideneb v1.3 10.5.6 Review
Hey guys just finished installing Ideneb v1.3 10.5.6 on my custom built PC!
Now before we get started this is my experience using my custom built PC here are the specs:
Motherboard= MSI k9vgm-v
CPU= AMD Athlon 64 X2 4200+
Video card= NVIDIA 8600GT
RAM= 2GB ddr2
Note: I do not encourage the use of Pirated software!
OK so now that that is out of the way here is my experience with the software.
I really didn't really ever get to use a Mac as a "main" computer so I didn't really pay any attention to the OS other than how its like an all out war out there!
But I really like it, its easy to use and it is pretty fast.
I've had it for about four days now and I've used a lot of the features and they are very user friendly by the way.
But as for overall performance it is pretty fast a lot of people said it won't be as fast as a
"Real Mac" but there isn't much of a difference at all.
But like I said it is VERY user friendly and it is highly recommended by me!!!
OK time to compare to Windows Vista, Windows 7, and XP.
OK so I have all of those operating systems plus windows 98 and Ubuntu so I have a lot of experience with operating systems.
Alright so Vista Vista Vista... what a failure!
I don't even think I should be comparing Mac OS X against Vista its embarrassing to Vista!
It could be better as said by many people, but vista just takes so long to start up and it really is a cpu hog i'm sorry Microsoft but it was a BIG failure!
The least you could have done was still have computers that run Windows Xp.
For the "Basic" PC user it is fine but for a c++ programmer in training like myself it just DOES NOT CUT IT!!!
It is to slow for the things I do WITH A BIG PERIOD!!!.
Mac is far better so I recommend either "Upgrading to Xp" or dual boot with ideneb.
And for all of you who don't know what ideneb is its MAC!!! It has just been Moded to work on hardware other than Apple's.
Now Windows 7.
Ok so to let you all know Windows seven is still in BETA and it is still better than vista and as of today January 30, 2009, I am using Beta build 7000.
Windows 7 is the "Vista should have been" it is far faster and a lot more stress free than vista.
And against Mac OS X its just your opinion that matters because I love 7 and I love OS X but right now I am using 7 so I use Mac for things like Vids, itunes, etc, etc, etc.
So its a matter of personal preference thats why I triple boot.
Now against Xp if your sick of the same old green and blue that get a new theme OR you can get ideneb!!!
And dual boot or triple boot soon to be quad boot in my case.
So speed wise they are about the same.
And ease of use depends on your experience with Macs!
Example I was reading an article about this program for Mac and it said go to such and such thingy mabob and I was like where the heck is that?
And it was in the top left menu button thingy (Not sure what its called).
So yeah in my case ease of use is XP>MAC.
But my overall opinion is if you want to try it out go ahead do it!!!
(Do not ask for links to the downloads as if I gave you them it would be illegal)
But you can get them from your favorite Torrent site.

Thoughts on Windows 7
Windows 7 Review
By: computerstuff101
Thoughts before install
My initial thoughts before installing windows 7 were, wow look its an updated version of Windows vista or at least from the looks of it. And to tell you the truth I really HATED Vista I didn't like the UI it just didn't feel right at all, and who in the right mind would release an operating system before it was even ready (well it wasn't ready to me).
I mean god and especially with as many compatibility problems it had it just flat out SUCKED I really didn't like it at all.
But enough of that back to w7 I was like look its vista Sp2 hahaha.
But from what it looked like the task bar was flawless and remember folks it's still in beta form and the build I am testing is build 7000.
Now from the Pictures and images I have seen it looks pretty decent and from the videos I have seen it looks like it runs at a decent speed and all that but I have to go install it now so I'll give you my report then.
Thoughts After Install
My first thought after installing was DANG this thing is FAST!!!!
It surprised me to because I think its running the same kernel as Vista.
I was just AMAZED at how fast it was it just didn't seem possible to me and I'm sure your saying yeah but what are the specs on your PC well here they are.
MOTHERBOARD=MSI K9VGM-V
CPU= Amd Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core 4200+ 2.20GHz
Ram=2.00GB
Video Card=Nvidia Geforce 8600 GT
And its a desktop.
It's just soooo fast and the quality on the background I used is just jaw dropping.
So my thoughts on windows 7 is 10 thumbs up!!!
If you didn't like vista I think you'll like this I mean I do think it's on the same kernel as vista but its just sooooooooo much faster its unbelievable.
I am dual booting it with Windows XP Pro and I am going to tell you the truth I have a Ubuntu 8.10 live cd and I used Gparted to partition my drive and I screwed up on something and I think what I screwed up on was that I forgot to defragment my hard drive and so when I tryed to boot xp it had the dreaded ntldr missing problem but it was very easy to fix so I recomend you try the Windows 7 beta out.
Just remember to watch some vids read some install instructions and your good to go, and if you don't feel comfortable doing it you can install it on a virtual machine just like you can do with Mac OS X.
So just go ahead and do it!!!
Conclusion
Definitely try this one out this is Microsofts best OS since 2000 & XP.
You can get it at this link:

Ten thumbs up for this one (if I had ten thumbs).
But remember defrag your hard drive.
