I don't think it is possible considering the hardware differnces.
I do remember some kinda porting that is under way but there is no finished article yet.

even if it was it would be rather slow I bet.

I would look into freebsd (http://www.freebsd.org/) It is what osx is built on.

and i bet someone has made a nice mac style desktop for it.

I found out XP, yes windows xp pro can be run off an iMac with OSX useing Virtual PC.
Check it out, here's Virtual PC for Macintosh OSX. (http://www.connectix.com/products/vpc6m.html)
hmm now for OSX on a PC. It is probably possible (maybe slow, but worth the try)

I know you can run version 7, 8, and some times even 9. Not sure about 10.

I use to run 7 all the time. My father loves macs. He hates windows, because its all to confusing for him. lol

Not sure about 10 or jaugar, etc since the hardware is different. But u never know. Like u said oSX can do winxp so why not the other way around.

cya,
Will

It's Jaguar btw ;)
