I was trying to explain to my friend today that logic can only run on a mac. But he brought up a pretty good point, since the mac runs on an intel processor shouldn't there be way to have logic 8 on a pc?
I just thought it was somewhat interesting, not sure of what would be entailed or why logic is mac only as im a PC user.
Maybe a mac user can clear this up? |

Apple, ingeniously, bought Emagic - the creators of Logic. Therefore Logic has been mac only since 5.5 or so.
You can run logic on pc, if you install a patched version of mac os - on a compatible pc.
I installed it on my dell 9400 laptop, and due to som issues with dell's bios on these specific laptops,
I could only run mac os with only one of the cpu cores enabled.
Even so, it worked quite well. But since I couldn't get my wifi working,
and the fact that I could only run one of the cores made it unattractive for me.
If you have a pc with all compatible parts, it should run osx about as good as a mac. (if you get all the necessary drivers)
Logic worked well, besides all the bugs it initially had with it's 8.0.0 release.
I did this just to see if Logic was something I would consider spending my money on, and soon after I ordered a mac mini.
The mini has enough power for me, since I'm not used to much cpu power, I know the workarounds.
Soon I'm selling the mini, in favor of the new mac pro that's (hopefully) around the corner. |

| I tried the same thing, only couldn't get OSX to boot on my system. So you are making the switch over? You liked it that much? Compared to what may I ask? What were you using before? (as a sequencer I mean) |

I couldn't care less about Apple's new lineup.
Get those refurbished previous generation MBPs while you can. |

Making stuff for the 95% of other people who don't use Macs... |

Install OSX on your PC. That is what I did before I bought a macbook. |
