EFiX is the best solution for installing and using Mac OS X on your PC.
It allows its user to install Mac OS X straight from the original DVD without having to worry about patches, replacing files and anything like that.
That means you can buy a regular PC, Mac OS X and EFiX and enjoy what the Mac users have always enjoyed:
unmodified Mac OS X on your computer, safe, easy and fast, exactly the way it should be.

The development of EFiX took a lot of time.
During the development phase, we had to deal with various problems, including sabotage.
This process also involved testing, which has been conducted for the last 6 months in production environments.
Industry leading professionals(who work for TV stations, recording studios and many others) rely on EFiX and Mac OS X running on standard PC hardware to get their tasks done.

EFiX is in the final testing phase.
All the testing has went far better than what we expected and the testers have given positive feedback.

We have planned to release it on 23rd of June, 2008. More information will be added soon.

See it in action at Netkas.org

Looks promising, though I wonder what the efi string/kext support will be like - that's if it needs it at all? Apple legal may not be very happy about this if it is really as easy as sticking in a usb plug.

This sounds extremely promising. I think the purchase of my Intel based components may have to come sooner than later.

But you'll still need a patched OSx86 disc for all the onbaord components which the vaious PC mainboards have. They're not on the original OS X installation DVD. Cool would be an hardware EFI card which jumps in before BIOS but this isn't possible on the PC/AT architecture. It would be possible on the Amiga, it has real hardware-autoconfiguration - since 1986.

Yep, I'm Amiga user, hm, was. Since in December 2005 my main harddisk crashed, I nearly don nothing with it anymore. I think I'll sell my BlizzardPPC+ (68060/50 PPC603e 240MHz onboard SCSI) for the A1200 and some other Amiga components except my Amiga 4000T. I'll also kick out my Athlon XPs and such stuff, will concentrate on Mac and C128 now.
