Surface Pro can run any OS that runs on Intel x86 platform. OSX, Linux and whatever out there. But what is the point of running other OS since they don't support touch or pen. It is a waste of such a nice powerful machine.
I think it is more because you can and for fun (yes some people enjoy doing this) than because they really want an OSX or other OS machine. I think that it is more spectacular when people port something like OSX to an Atari or TI graphing calculator than a completely modern ultrabook though.
Yes, I think people are just doing it for fun. Booting other OS off the USB sticks is cool.
It was only a matter of time... I haven't seen one running linux yet but I haven't looked yet either.
Defile such beautiful hardware with MacOS??? (sorry, I just couldn't resist )
Proud to say I've never used a Mac.
