"Now lets reverse it."
Pros: None to mention
Cons: None to mention
Summary: Putting Windows on a Mac is all well and good. Now lets put Mac OS X on PC's. Then we can finally have the best of both worlds,a stable operating system on affordable hardware (with apologies to Linux users).

My friend has an HP laptop and is running Mac OS and Windows as duel boot. According to him, it works beautifully but as it stands now, to get the best performance, you have to be computer savy. Persoanlly, I would have gotten HP w/ the AMD instead of the MacBook w/ the Core Duo since it's cheaper, 64 bit, and if I'm not mistaken, has a better batterry life.

Let me point something out Apple produced the software that allowed Windows to sit on their machine, it is up to PC makers to produce a software to allow OS X to set on their PC. Oops I am sorry there is no real PC manufacturing company that makes good PC software.
Apple produced a better system in both counts and it helps that hardware producer also produces very well intergrated software, which works very well.
The intergration of software and hardware is seamless and artitistic to the eye.
Windows Vista (XP is not in its league) vs. OS X is a joke, since OS X win hands down. -
It would have to support every good, bad & ugly hardware combination out there. If you want a glitzy unstable OS, Microsoft is out there working hard on Vista. People always talk about cheaper, but forget the price they pay for trying to save a few pennies, like years spent just making the OS run right, instead of running better.
Apple's way is to make it run better. In addition to having a more stable OS to being with, one way they do that is by limiting hardware combinations so they don't have to worry about whether it will even run. -
Microsoft is too selfish to do something like this. Plus, it would probably be a headache. Anyone for Linux and Mac together, though? Sounds nice.

yeah you wish...

If anyone knows if this is in the works or it there is a way to do this now (with 3rd party software), I'd love to know.

I'd rather not have OS X running on PCs, not because it wouldn't rock, but because it would likely suck for Apple as a company. I'd put money on them never EVER releasing something that would allow that. Unlike Microsoft, Apple's revenues are based mostly in hardware, and when you take that out of the picture, things don't look too good for them. Not to mention the support nightmare that would come along with all this.
