Mac OS X Yosemite Transformation Pack for Windows XP/Vista/7/8.x
A new look for Windows systems: using the freeware "Mac OS X Yosemite transformation Pack for Windows" you dress your Windows system in the chic Mac-OS-design of the new Yosemite.
Once installed, the Yosemite design settles across the entire Windows system, and bars, buttons and folder in the Mac OS style changed. The Windows appear in the Mac OS style and the launch moves to the top of the screen and embodies Apple's toolbar there.
Typical Mac features such as the dock, dashboard, and spaces were modeled after the original - but of course available with Windows functions. So just your normal default browser on Windows behind the Safari icon in the Quick Launch bar.
IMPORTANT: It's strongly recommended to create a system restore point before installing, in order to reset your Windows computer to the original state in case of occurring problems.

Yes, , but I'm afraid you run into troubles when it comes to "drivers" ...
I just started playing with Hackintosh, most kexts are available
I have it running on an AMD CPU - Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition
Little bit of work but I think it's worth it so far.

Yes, installing Mac OSX on non-Mac (Intel and AMD based) hardware has been possible for a few years now.
I installed OSX 10.6 on an HP Compaq DC7600 SFF several years ago and more recently, OSX 10.7 (iATKOS version) on a Dell Optiplex 960 SFF.
I like this operating system as, unlike Windows, it's almost flameproof.
The Dell machine is used for a number of tasks but mainly for running a program called Get iPlayer Automator, which allows me to download BBC and ITV programs for storage and later viewing. This installation went very smoothly indeed and the results are certainly worth the (in this case, minimal) effort.
And yes, most kexts (drivers to Windows users) are available via the various "hackintosh" type forums.
Just did the most easiest installation of an operating system in my life.
iATKOS-M (Mavericks) on an PC that I put together out of old bits (Intel Core 2 duo on a Gigabyte GA-945GCMX, Nvidia GT520).
He customises the image for your hardware for 10 bucks. Absolute worth it:
took however two weeks not two days, but he was sick and was also busy updating he system.
Totally flawless out of the box, no tweaking, no drivers, I find no difference to a "real" MAC... I might have been lucky though.
Also got an older free iATKOS (I think one of the Leopards) running pretty smooth on my EEE PC 1000h after a WiFi hack.
Could never get Tonymacx86 working properly.
...and yes I own two real MACs, just needed this for one single application in my hobby music studio.

That sounds almost easier than Linux to set up. I may try this one day.
