Why are so many people complaining about their old Macs being shut out?
You're on a Hackintosh forum. You're talking about getting Mac OS X running on unsupported hardware.
READ THAT LAST SENTENCE AGAIN.
Seriously, if you learned anything from installing OS X on your hackintosh, it's that OS X isn't very hard to trick into running. All you really need to do is trick the installer, then force it to booting a 32-bit kernel. :3

I'm so sick of editing my hackintosh so soon...im just gonna buy a mac now...
You're the reason Macs sell, and you're the kind of person who doesn't need to work with Hackintoshes. For one, you don't need to be up to date ALL of the time. I'm loving 10.6 and the only reason I'm going to use Lion in the future is because I want a modern PowerMac running current software.
Second, you must not love fiddling with this stuff. If you don't love editing kexts and forcing kernel options, you've come to the wrong place. Go use Ubuntu, because OS X has taken Linux's place as the "hard to get running OS" and now the "OS for the nerd".
So yeah, you should buy a Mac is you don't genuinely love working on your system, tweaking it and modifying it when it needs it.
