I had install iLilfe 09 way back in 2009 when I was venturing into this territory. All the apps worked except iWeb. I can't say anything about iLife 11. If it needs hardware acceleration via GPU & if the drivers aren't installed properly then it may not work.

^^^^or me ilife 11 has worked with nVidia 9400Gm chipset driver from Laptop (Medion)where i used nvinject kexts from kext.com
But you are right more often than not ilife isnt stable.
Frankly i got my self a macbook pro after years of hackintoshing around since days of tiger. On PC It worked great until there was update around the corner. Every update sometimes eventually becomes necessary and this does kill the hackintosh.
However If you have patience certain update are available in form of DMG from third party vendors though not the latest.
Anyways ran Lion Developer on Hackintosh with these configuration:
Intel Core 2 Duo or better i.e. Core i3, i5, i7 (no Core Duo or AMD right now).
2GB RAM (4GB recommended)
For those with Intel integrated Grahpic chipset anything above 950Gma doesnt work with Hardware Acceleration. Though the resolution can be set. But without Quartz Extreme and Core Image Macosx is not worth.

^^ Care posting a screenshot of Lion running with your system profile in the background?

Yeah.. It is very easy. Infact, here's how you should do it.
First, install Mac OS X. Then install Windows 7 on another drive. After that install EasyBCD & add Mac as an option.
If you want to install Linux, then install it, GRUB will automatically detect EasyBCD.

Guys question here. I've grown kind of tiered of installing OSes that refuse to accept existence of another OS in my system. So I've gone pure VM mode these days. Anybody tried installing Mac OSX in a virtual machine ? If so what are the results ? I think it should be theoretically easier because the bootloader and firmware can be made to mimic any hardware.

Yeah.. and those images work fine with Virtualbox.. you don't even need VMWare for that..

Well, Apple Hardware being costly is a myth. Well at least in laptops and if you buy them in the US that is.

No offence but lifehacker even has articles concerning how and where to download pirated shows (as RSS feeds) daily. And they don't even mention it indirectly..
It's the download-only version, $29. In-Store downloads at retail Apple Stores or a USB flash drive containing the OS costs $69. But I'd say it's still cheaper Windows. Microsoft should look into this.
What applies in India then? If DMCA isn't applicable to India, then isn't jailbreaking/other stuff still illegal?
On other notes, using a hackintosh still VIOLATES apples EULA, but technically it cannot be said illegal. But nowadays creating a hackintosh (by an average user) usually involves certain methods that CAN be said illegal.

Read my post again. It's DMCA which rendered "Jail breaking' illegal in the first place before the change.

1. Well, it was in response to "So can we". Well, we're different from such sites, they even use inappropriate language (not that it is "BAD") but we don't
2. Thanks for the link.
