OSX on a PC?

Is there a program like this one called Parallel that will let you run OSX on a PC? There are a few programs (not many) that I would like to give a spin, but they are Mac only. I thought maybe with the advent of Intel Macs this whole sharing operating system thing might be a two-way street.

s' never gonna happen. basically the apple hardware is the same as pcs now, but there's an additional chip in there that osX needs to run on that specific hardware. never osX will run on other than apple hardware.

so: nope... rather steve jobs would kill himself

Google for "Hackintosh". It is a specially built PC to run MacOSX, but there are LOTS of trouble, really. Not worth it.
