I don't think it's a good idea to have a thread on the topic

I agree

Hack the Mac OSx to work on your Pc, duh.

Gross! Why would you want the Mac OSX even on a Mac That's why God made Linux distros that run on Macs, lol.

Because then you get UNIX goodness with a more immediately useful OS. Linux is great and all, but it requires work.

Yeah, it does require some work, and it's not for everyone, but the benefits are great =) OSx runs off of a BSD kernel if I remember, similar, and still powerful, but I've never been fond of Mac's "simplicity". They try and dumb it down so much that it's very easy to use, but I have trouble using it because it's almost over-simplified

If you don't have a Mac, then you are eternally doomed. And I'm talking either type of Mac.

My reply was more of a joke on the 'get an intel mac' comments
From what I've seen the Mac OSx looks pretty nice. But there's no legal hacks of it for PCs yet

It'll only run on a PC which supports SSE3 (or at worst, SSE2), which narrows down a lot of computers.

Secondly, it's hardware support is quite specific.

I've witnessed proublems with OSx though. As weird as it sounds, on a university computer at The University of Texas (long story, don't ask why I was there) they had a room full of macs, but alot of them weren't working. They had just updated from OS9 to OSx and apparently OS9 was rejecting OSx...or something around those lines. That, and I've used several different macs, and I don't really find it any simpler to use than Windows. Windows isn't all proublematic like everyone says. At least not for me it isn't.

I found that, which is what Curt1zzle found as well, more than likely. But that id may be created for a particular programs' use. Since it stated after that:

Reactivate the product by using the NI License Wizard, just as you did when you originally activated.

Which in that case, I'd guesse that Graal gives your computer an id when you install the game client, and uses that.
