As some of you may know Mac OS X operating system does not actually require an Apple computer. Even though Apple tries to protect its precious OS from spreading to generic PCs, we've seen couple of how-tos and tutorials on bypassing the price tag of an Apple-branded computer.
To make it a more commonly known fact, Wired released a video tutorial on installing Mac OS X on a netbook in December. Not as a surprise to those who have heard about Apple's confrontations against a company called Psystar, Wired didn't get to spread the word for long. Apple requested the removal of the video from Wired's Gadget Lab yesterday.
The video -- and text -- tutorial features step-by-step instructions on how to download a copy of OS X Leopard from The Pirate Bay and install it into your MSI Wind netbook.
Apple didn't file a lawsuit and apparently they didn't want to do anything else about it either because Wired still hosts the text version of the hack -- including the link to TPB for OS X download. Obviously the video wasn't removed from the Internet either and you can still watch it on Gizmodo.
