Are you aware that you are using MacOS outside of the boundaries stated in the user agreement? For personal use that is probably okay/defendable but I can hardly imagine a business would like taking that risk.


As an Apple Mac user and Hackintosh builder: Apple has gotten thousands from me over the years, so care factor zero :)


I am aware. So far no one has been prosecuted for violating a user agreement this way. Back in the day for hackintosh you would literally buy the OS and install it on the hardware. Apple still gets my money through the app store, iPhones, iPads I buy.


Other than if Apple try and track him down via HN, how would they ever know?


By keeping track of the serial numbers they put in the motherboards and the ones that are reported when you add your iCloud account for example.


If they cared, they would have made a move.


They do actually ban users of iMessage on hackintoshes, according to a few forum users of tonymacx86
