This is to clear the air a bit on the use of Apple OS X on non-Apple hardware. As clearly stated in the Apple Terms of Use agreement.
2. Permitted License Uses and Restrictions.

agree not to install, use or run the Apple Software on any non-Apple-branded computer, or to enable others to do so. This License does not allow the Apple
Software to exist on more than one computer at a time, and you may not make the Apple Software available over a network where it could be used by multiple
