Hackintosh is a PC standard, X86, P4, Core 2 or AMD running the system from Apple, Mac OS X, it is necessary to use a DVD for installation, an ISO in Mac OS X hacking, or modified internally by hackers / programmers.
Apple from the moment it announced it would adopt the same Intel processors, that around 2005, opened a big gap for hackers alter and modify its fabulous and sophisticated system based on UNIX.
Though even before that, in 2004, the hackers obtained an internal DVD Beta, someone from within Apple, released this ISO in IRC channel, that place is infested with hackers, especially those who use FreeBSD, and Mac OS as the system and X based on the power of the core open source Darwin / BSD, it is clear, but not confirmed officially, it was one of the programmers of Apple, Linux User and probably attended the IRC channel, which spread the news to your friends.
What I said above, only a speculation and suspicion not confirmed, another round suspicion that the Internet is that Apple itself was so purposeful that leaked the ISO on the Internet, only to see their possible acceptance by the users of your system, even if they have not an Apple equipment, the ISO could be installed on normal computers.
The main reason that has not led to Apple to launch its operating system, Mac OS X for normal computers, and that sales of its equipment is very good, never sold so many, iPhone, iPod, iMac and MacBook Pro, the day as experienced sales, which I doubt, will officially launch the Mac OS X to leverage the sales, the reality is that Apple’s revenue is based solely on sales of hardware, is very different from the profits of Microsoft, which has its billing based on selling software, where Windows and Office package and solutions.
The core of Mac OS X operating system is an open source license Unix, built around a Unix kernel with basic resources acess?veis through a command-line interface.
Shortly before the release of Mac OS X, Apple released this core as Darwin.
On top of this core, Apple designed and developed a number of components of closed code (closed source) license owner including Aqua interface and the Finder (the management system files).
The combination of friendly interface and the power of the core open source Darwin / BSD Mac OS X became the best-selling Unix environment today in number of computers sold.
And thanks to our friends hackers, we now have a large number of ISO’s changed on any computer running either Intel or AMD.
