Mac OS X binaries are not directly compatible with Windows, the dominant operating system found on "PCs." No suitable ABI has been created, or is likely to be available for several years. Running Mac OS X on commodity hardware is possible, but it often involves a lot of tweaking to get working, and is a violation of Apple's EULA.
