I did the Hackintosh thing for a couple of years. It was painful, but even more so since I wanted a RAID 1 on my main boot disk. That, it turns out, is not supported that well. If someone claims it is, then I'd say it definitely adds extra steps, and it can sometimes be tricky and tense.
I never dual booted Windows, but I read about lots of problems people had in the forums.
It was like removing a large pebble from my shoe when I got my Mac Pro.
- op00to 10y agoDid you run your business on the Hackintosh? I'm curious of people who do this - what's the calculus that makes this decision (time, security risk, etc) a viable choice?
- _asummers 10y agoI could see it in the Mac Pro sort of setup, say if rendering is part of your flow, so that you can shove OSX onto Xeons with 64GB RAM or whatever. I personally wouldn't take that risk, but I can see why someone would.
