i have a dell that i got for graduation, and i know that there is software to run windows on a mac, but is there something to do the opposite of that, i want the final cut studio, and that would really be the only reason i would want a mac (i know saying that on this forum is libal to get me lynched but its true). does anyone know of anything like that?
thanks

You can't run Final Cut Studio in Windows.
Further, running Mac OS X on anything but a Mac violates the EULA and no one will help you do that here.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, Derik...
To answer your question, I agree with Derik that you definitely don't want to run Mac OS X on anything but an Apple, since it simpley won't work well. But there is software out there that will let you run OS X on a PC, only IF your PC meets certain criteria...
I have no idea what those criteria are, or what the software is (I think VMware has a copy...)
But Mac OS X doesn't even need password validation to run, like Windows (it doesn't really need it... Even if you steal a copy, you're most likely running it on an Apple machine anyway, so Apple still wins) So... I don't recommend it, but good luck anyway.
What I DO recommend is selling your little Dell on ebay, and using the proceeds toward buying yourself your very own macbook, where you can run finalcut all you want.
