    You might be able to run Imovie by using an OSX emulator on your windows box, but performance would suffer. The closest thing that you can do to run OSX on a wintel box is to download and install Darwin from apple. It is a free download. This will not let you run programs meant for OSX (OSX binaries). Darwin is just an apple flavor of BSD, and when they built it, they removed the lovely and versitile installer that comes with freeBSD. Darwin, at this time, will not run on Via chipsets. If you would like more info on Darwin, check the apple web site, and the gnuDarwin web site.

    There are no current plans to port the full OSX to wintel hardware. Too bad, they could change the world with this. Linux is making a slow in roads to the desk top, and it has MS worried. If apple let out a fully supported version for wintel, it would really cut the profits of MS.
    Hope is the trap the world sets for you every night when you go to sleep and the only reason you have to get up in the morning is the hope that this day, things will get better... But they never do, do they?
