    That's it, the software/programs is whats missing, If you look hard enough you find most of it BUT it just takes that one bit of software that only runs in windows, is what turns most people back to old windows in the end.
    When you do things right, people won't be sure that you have done anything at all

    I have installed it onto a separate HDD so I can dual boot. I only done this to get the old brain ticking over again, seeing sat TV is screwed at the moment.

    Not many programs are just locked to windows now days, and you can always find an equal alternative. Hell you can even use CrossOver Mac to run windows applications in osx or run windows virtually. I think the software limitation is a thing of the past.
    I have being using osx/osx86 for 2 years now and the only thing I need windows for is XBC and imgburn (for 360 backups). Although I tend to use vmware to boot xp now and do all of this and the system runs stable.

    What motherboard are you using Adobe? I have a mates K9A2-CF (AMD - Phenom 9750) and my own GA-P35-DS3L both running 10.5.6.

    For the P35 I just used an actual retail osx disc to install from and have been using apple update and everything has been working fine.

    Some programs I use, that all work fine on my hack:
    ABGX
    Dreamweaver CS4
    Speed Download 5
    MS Office
    NZB Drop
    VMWARE fusion
    filezilla
    Toast 9
    Persian
    kismac
    paragon ntfs
    MSN

    The only application I have ever ran into an issue with is MacTheRipper, and temperature monitor because my CPU is 45nm although there is a fix for this.
    My hack $#!Ts on both my macbook pro and 13" macbook.

    get an application called Acqlite, it is a peer to peer for mac only.
    You'll get most things you need there. Such as office etc.
    Then get serial seeker, this will provide the serials you need.
    Serial seeker runs in tangent with serial box.

    Enjoy the mac world the computing world minus the crap like virus firewall blue screen of death

    Well my mainboard is a Gigabyte P35-DS3P CPU is a Intel Quad Core Q6600

    I installed the Mac OS on a clean drive, on boot up I push F12 then select the Mac HDD or if I leave it alone it boots into windows. All I have to do is patch it at some stage so I have write access to my windows drives.

    Adobe.
