Windows 7 can be installed on any Intel/AMD PC, or on any Intel Mac (with boot camp). Mac OS can only legitimately be installed on Macs. Versions before 10.4 can only be installed on PowerPC Macs, versions 10.6 and after can only be installed on Intel Macs. All Mac OS versions that can be installed on Intel Macs, can technically be run on Intel/AMD PC's. This however is a hazy legal issue as it breaks the Mac OS EULA if it is installed on a non-Apple labled computer. This alone is not illegal. Obtaining a copy of any commercial software for free is piracy, which is illegal. If you want to install Mac OS on a PC legally you would have to patch, a bought copy of Mac OS. If you want to find out any more you should Google osx86.

ps. Personal advice, stick with Windows 7 or XP. It will save you the hassle.
