Mac OS X Hacked

Today at school I heard the most amazing, un-backed news. Apparently a group of hackers (not in the destructive sense) made some additions or changes to Mac OS X, allowing it to be run from PC hardware, as a pose to Mac hardware.

It loads up more or less as usual, although I imagine there are some huge configuration settings needing to be made before it would get running. The crack, while not exactly wide spread, is hoped to be made available (illegally - shh!) to the public so hopefully we can all try out the "World's most advanced operating system" on our PC hardware. Good work guys.

On a different note: does anyone know why Apple doesn't release their Operating Systems for non-Apple hardware? Is it purely because they need the hardware sales to keep their head above water or are they in fact attempting to also monopolise the computer market much like Microsoft do on a daily basis? - Just a little something to ponder.
