A new boot loader developed by Miami-based hardware/software corporation Psystar, enables people to install Mac OS X on any Intel-based personal computer.

At a cost of $90, an individual can download a 7.6MB file, called Rebel EFI, to create a bootable CD. After starting the computer on this disk, insert Snow Leopard when prompted.

Charlie Sorrel is skeptical of the product, citing several warnings and error message contingencies provided by Psystar.

Many problems, plenty of which are anticipated by the company itself, are associated with installing the Mac operating system on other machines.

As an introductory promotion, the price of this software is now temporarily $50.
