Why not run OSX on a Win7 computer(just curious)? Of course the official support bootcamp gives you is great.

Are you a really big fan of OSX? I'm assuming you prefer it so much that you prioritize it, and plus/minus windows

You can't do it (easily). I think there are also hardware compatibilities to watch out and the effort (of setting it up and maintaining the 'hackintosh') just isn't worth it.

[Edited for typo]

There are some apps that are Mac only. Also you get access to the App Store with great Mac software.

Also it's got a good shell, etc. As far as I know, OSX is only licensed to run on Macs.
