os x vs. win 7

which one is better?

can i install os x (snow leopard) on my non mac pc (intel processor ofc)?

Edit. where`s the difference between a OEM license and a full license for win7?? besides the ca. 150€ less u have to pay

YES YOU CAN!
Google "hackintosh" for installing OS X on to other machines (I think lifehacker.com had a few handy guides for doing it)

IMO though I'd go for 7 at the mo as it's getting rave reviews from most people!
i read that most of the hardware (like sound etc.) won`t work...
but it`s so cheap compared to win 7 :)

I think there's a few MOBO's that are incompatible but some can be done with a few settings tweaks.

Seems to be an awful lot of hassle though!

os X + gaming = fail
win7 all the way
Will get my laptop with Windows 7 this afternoon. I read that the default dpi = 125.. is this true? Some more questions: Is it possible to tweak the usbhz to 500? And is there already an accelfix avi? Too lazy to google, hehe.
yeah, the default dpi is 125... oh wait

I run windows via Bootcamp and run all my games through windows too, but everything else is ran through OS X
with the oem license you only get to reinstall windows a certain amount of times then the key runs out and you need to phone them up to try and get another key to activate windows. well atleast thats what happend when i bought an oem version of windows before .And i think once you install it its locked to your pc or mobo not too sure about that though only used it on one pc so didnt find out for a fact.
Win7 is actually quite nice.

what h8m3 said.

and yes osx works on normal pc´s. if u just need it for some apps install it on a vmware like me.
