What laptop do you have?

You cannot install Leopard officially or legally on laptops other than apple ones.

Why couldn't you... you own both the products...

As long as your laptop was made by Apple, you can install Leopard on it.

Remember... you don't OWN the software... you purchased a license to use it.

Per the license agreement, you are only authorized to install Leopard on systems manufactured by Apple.

^^ hahaha, very true :P

Back to topic, you cannot legally. I've heard that you can get a patched leopard but hey, not gunna be the one to get banned :D

Howabout we just answer the poor guy's question before this thread is completely hijacked, eh?

Short, and Bluntly, NO you cannot install Leopard on your Laptop. Judging from what you have told us, I conclude that you do not own a Macintosh.

No, if it's not a Mac. At least, not in a way that the rules of Aqua Soft will let me talk about.

buy a mac. no regrets. best of both worlds if you choose.

i've seen Leopard got installed on windows PC, link lost i'll post it when i find it

look at this one at the mean time http://dailyapps.net/2007/10/hack-attack-i...n-3-easy-steps/

Please note the tutorial that I am going to post is still experimental and things might not work the right way simply because it is still early days in hacking Leopard to work on PC’s. Well if you don’t mind your PC getting screwed then go ahead and try out this tutorial.

On a PC:

Yes, it's possible. No, we don't discuss it here. Some simple Googling should find you the answer.

On a Mac:

Go right ahead. ;)
