Best Answer

A PC which has been modified to allow it to run Mac OS and Mac software.

Hackintosh is also illegal.

Note by another reader. Being that installing Mac OS software on a PC is a violation of contract, wouldn't that make it CIVIL and thus not CRIMINAL in nature, thus not making it illegal? We need to be careful with language, specifically when acting as an authority figure that others will rely on for information.
