MAC OS X

by RavensDragon May 13, 2009 12:53AM PDT

Just have a question. Is the MAC OS X able to be used on any laptop or is the MAC OS in general only to be used on MAC laptops? I have an HP Compaq CQ70-120US notebook pc and I was wondering if I could install this OS on it. I currently have Windows Vista HP/32bit installed. I have heard a lot about the MACOS and back many years ago used the Apple computers. Is it really better than windows OS? And if so where on the internet can i go to, to see a working version of it that does not download to my pc to be able to see it in action? Thank you.

Mac OS X can only be legally used on a Apple built computer.

Yes, it really is better than Windows

Try the Apple Store at apple.com

If you have an Apple store within driving distance of where you are, pay a visit to it. They will let you play on them to your hearts content
