If you still think that you need macintosh computer to try MacOS, that's already in the past. Now you can try MacOS on Windows Vista. How to do it ? Check this out !
First thing that you need to do is you need to have VM Player that can be download from VM Player Free and of course DVD installer MacOS X version 10.4.5 or 10.4.6 or 10.4.7 or 10.4.8.
1. Run VM Player, Start -> All Programs -> VM Ware -> VM Player.
2. Create new virtual machine, by click New Virtual Machine.
3. Then click next
4. Then choose Custom, and click next then next again.
5. Then choose Other and FreeBSD for the version. For Core 2 Duo and Core Duo user
with 945 pm (Calistoga) you need to choose Windows NT. This step is needed to
prevent the processor to failed in boot DVD MacOS. Then click next.
6. Give your new virtual machine with MacOS for easier identification.
7. Then answer one, if there is a question that asked you about how many virtual
processor that will be created. (Still answer one although there are 2 processor
on your computer)
8. Then you need to set how many memory that you will allocated for MacOs, you suggest
to set it to 256 mb ( 512 mb from 1.5 gb is very recommended). Then next.
9. Then choose [Use bridged networking] and next then next again.
10. Then choose create new virtual disk and next.
11. Then you need to set what kind of your virtual disk, IDe or SCSI. Then next.
12. After that you need to set the capacity of your new virtual disk.
13. After you click next, you need to decide where your virtual disk will placed.
Choose place that different with place where your main operation system place,
14. Then click finish, and close VM window.
15. Now you need to open windows explorer, and find VM ware setting. The default
location is on Documents\Virtual Machines\MacOS X. Then open configuration file
( with .vmx) using notepad.
16. Add paevm=”true” on the last row. If with this configuration failde to boot
virtual machine, you can change scsi0.present = “TRUE” with scsi0.present =
“FALSE”.
17. Save the configuration .vmx file.
18. Now insert DVD MaacOS and Power On This Virtual Machine.
19. When booting MacOS take process, press F8 and type -v. This will bring you to
verbose mode, that will make easier to detect if there is something wrong with
the installation.
20. After GUI (graphical user interface) screen appear, follow step by step until you
need to choose hard disk. Click Utilities, then Disk Utility.
21. Choose VM drive on the left panel, and partition on the right panel.
22. Change partition volume to 1 and give it a name. Make sure that format will be
created is Mac OS Extended (Journaled) and make sure that the space is sufficient.
23. Click partition and click partition ones again. After your disk formating is
finish, you can close Disk Utility window and your partition will show up on
set up page. Continue to next instalation step.
24. If you use Intel processor with SS2, make sure you choose customize and put a
check mark on patch.
25. After you only need to click continue and wait until instalation process finish.
And you can enjoy Apple operation system on Vista.
Happy trying !!

Tips To Buy Perfect Notebook For You (2)
6. Finger fitting
As notebooks shrink in size, so do their keyboards. If possible, try some simple
typing exercises before you buy. The smaller the keyboard, the more creative the
vendor may have gotten with key size and placement. Pay particular attention to the
spacebar, Shift, Ctrl, and Backspace/Delete keys. Be sure all are in a good
location for your hand size and typing style.
7: Touchy, touchy
Computing today relies a lot on mousing. With a notebook, all you get is a touch
pad or pointing stick. Unless you plan on traveling with a mouse, test the
notebook's input device for comfort and responsiveness. Some touch pads include
extra features, such as a dedicated area for scrolling. We've never been big fans
of those little pointing sticks tucked in the middle of the keyboard, because
precision is tough and the little nubs wear off, requiring replacement.
8: Vying for video RAM
If you're not planning on doing much graphics work or playing 3D games, shared
memory should be fine. But if you have a choice, aim for a graphics chipset that
shares at least 384MB of system memory. You may not find it in an ultraportable,
but other notebook types may offer more robust graphics chipsets. In fact, many
high-end notebooks have discrete graphics subsystems with dedicated high-speed
video memory. If gaming or intensive graphics work is on the agenda, look for 512MB
or 1GB of dedicated memory.
9: A slot for all reasons
Like a PCI slot in a desktop, a PC Card (or PCMCIA) slot in a notebook provides
expansion opportunities. Additional USB and FireWire ports, wired and wireless
modems, and wireless LAN radios are all available in PC Card form. PC Cards and
slots come in three sizes: Type I, II, and III. Type I cards are normally used for
memory, Type II for input/output devices, and Type III for mass storage and
firewalls. The very latest notebooks include the ExpressCard slot which is set to
replace the PCMCIA card format in the long run.
10: Get connected
Ports, especially USB and FireWire, are necessities, but on notebooks they're
usually in short supply. At a minimum, look for two USB ports, and if you have any
legacy devices, such as parallel printers, look for those ports, too. If you'd like
to use a digital camcorder or iPod with your notebook, make sure the notebook has a
FireWire (IEEE 1394) port. Connecting a monitor will require a VGA port. (If you'll
be giving presentations, a VGA port is also where you'll connect a projector.) And
if you want to output video to a television, find a notebook with an S-Video out.

CES 2008: Intel Debuts 16 New Processors
We knew they were coming…just not this many. Intel kicked off this year's CES in a big way, introducing 16 new processors all based on the chipmaker's 45 nanometer (nm) process technology. We've been hearing a lot about 45 nm lately and, admittedly, it's kind of hard to get excited about semiconductor fabrication -- especially when there's all manner of shiny new gizmos vying for your attention. (For a layman's overview of 45 nm, see the company's somewhat creepy video,Intel's 45nm Secret 'Revealed' ) But make no mistake, the debut of these new processors is a big deal.
First, it marks Intel's considerable lead over rival AMD. While AMD is expected to move the 45 nm sometime in the second half of 2008, Intel began mass-producing these chips in November 2007. In a general sense, 45 nm fans the flames of Moore's law , allowing Intel to double the number of transistors in the same silicon space. According to the chipmaker, it also allows the company squeeze more performance out of smaller transistors and increases the overall energy efficiency of a given processor. How small are we talking about? Well, there are 1 billion nanometers (nm) in one meter. And while the original Bell Labs transistor could be held in your hand, you can actually fit hundreds of 45nm transistors on the surface of a single red blood cell. So, yeah, small.
One of the other noteworthy aspects about Monday's announcement is the fact that more than a quarter of these new processors are aimed at the mobile arena. Anyone who's been following Intel knows the company is keen on expanding more into this space, both with its continued WiMax push and in the form of its newfound love of the mobile internet device (MID). And with five new 45nm dual core mobile processors slated for release this month that are (in some cases) up to 25 percent smaller, you can not only expect new notebooks equipped with these processors, but also new form factors.
In fact, Intel says it's also planning on using these new teeny tiny transistors and manufacturing advances to spur on this MID category of small form-factor, low-powered devices later in the year.
In the end, Intel's focus on mobility is understandable. With 30 percent annual growth, the laptop market is consistently exceeding expectations. During a pre-CES briefing, the company reiterated that notebooks alone are expected to start outselling desktops for the first time on a worldwide basis in 2009. And with these new processors being absorbed into its Centrino lineup, you'll see better performance and better battery life.
If you're interested in hearing more about Intel's mobile push, CEO Paul Otellini's keynote is scheduled for 4:30 this afternoon. You'll likely get the WiMax spiel again and hear more about these so-called MIDs and "internet in your pocket." Oh, and there will also be some sort of virtual Smash Mouth jam. You won't want to miss that...
