Convert PC in to Mac with EFiX USB Dongle

efix-usb-dongleIf you suddenly become bored of your PC running the Microsoft Windows OS and fancy a switch to Mac Leopard OS X then you now can make that switch. The switch over requires a small piece of hardware to be attached to a USB header on your motherboard and once it is attached you are free to install the other OS as needed.

There is a small downside in that the product is so new that it isn't compatible with all motherboards. When release two comes out in a month or two, this shouldn't be as much of an issue. Being able to switch to Leopard is a kind of cool move forwards for PC owners and one I may try my self should I find my current PC being on the compatibility list.

Installation of Leopard is done via a standard retail Leopard DVD, so no extra requirements are needed there. Version 1 of the dongle costs $125 with version 2 (compatible with more hardware) is about to be massed produced and should be a lot cheaper.
