Incorrect, If you look at some of the less scrupulous segments of the
web you can find a copy of OSX that runs on x86

For example check out http://wiki.osx86project.org/wiki/index.php/Main_Page

As a warning if you are planning on actually obtaining a copy somehow,
it will be a DVD sized image (think about 4GB)
