While this may be blasphemous, but can you run the Mac OS in

You can hack a PC to run the Mac OS. I don't know about
VMware. There is 
a hackatosh site, but it takes some know-how to get it
done.

I'm not a fanatic about any OS. OS X kinda put some fun back
into using 
a computer after all these years... for me.
