For those that don't know OSx86 is a patch for OS X (or an all out patched version of Mac OS X if you're a pirate) that has had the kernels modified to run on non-apple (yet still intel) hardware.

I tried it out with Tiger a few months ago and ended up selling my copy of Tiger because I couldn't get it to work. I decided to read up on it again and it's come a long way. I bought a copy of Leopard and am proudly booting OS 10.5.1 with no problems, system updates are working great. So I've got a tri-boot XP-Pro, OS X, and Ubuntu desktop (though OS X pretty much satisfies the needs Ubuntu had been filling, so I'll probably ditch it).

Sorry for those of you who don't really care. But I'm psyched.
