OSx86 Project

OSx86 is a computer hacking project that allow users to run Mac OS X (and its successors, such as macOS) on standard Windows PCs by first installing software from a downloaded .iso disk image file.

A non-Apple computer running Mac software through OSx86 is referred to as a Hackintosh, replacing "Mac" with "Hack". Similarly configured notebooks are known as Hackbooks.

History
This project started soon after the 2005 Worldwide Developers Conference, when Steve Jobs announced Apple's transition to Intel processors.
