It’s just a more-or-less just a standard PC in a tablet frame, so of course the Surface Pro can probably run OS X — almost any modern X86-based PC can these days. But should you run OS X on the Microsoft Surface Pro? One intrepid hackintosher seemingly decided to give it a whirl.
Now, this could just be a VM running OS X, but the Wi-Fi doesn’t seem to work, which could indicate that this is a hackintosh in progress; a pinch-of-salt job for now. Where there’s a will there’s a way, though, even if neither Ballmer, Gates, nor Jobs would like it. Yes, somebody somewhere is almost guaranteed to be desecrating the Microsoft Surface Pro with OS X (or should it be the other way round?), and you know what? I love it.

I see a stylus! Clearly he blew it.
That made me genuinely lol
Am I the only one who doesn’t get the joke?
Get a copy of photoshop, illustrator, and sketchbook on there (and get the touch sensitivity working) and this would be great!
A lot cheaper than a ModBook Pro too.
and a Wacom Cintiq
@ Bhenn – Yeah, putting Photoshop on a Windows tablet with pressure sensitivity is a great idea, but it’s not a new one. I started using an HP tc1100 for this purpose at least 6-7 years ago (currently using an ASUS EP121 with Win8 for the same purpose). I’m sure it’s been possible for at least a decade on old TabletPC hardware…
Pressure sensitivity in Photoshop is pretty much plug-and-play (provided your stylus hardware is decent).
Yeah, I have a Bamboo graphic tablet plugged in to my mac at the mo and love it. So that’s the first thing that jumped out at me when I saw this, probably made the connection because I use OS X but obviously you could install photoshop on windows too
I think the headline should be “The Microsoft Surface Pro Running OS X Must Have Steve Ballmer Turning in His Grave”.
Oh, He isn’t dead yet. Damn!
I think the other Steve would be delighted to see good software run on good hardware.

doubt it
Yeah, you are probably right.
