Hackintosh

Just sucessfully installed mac os x 10.6.x (cant remember the exact version) on my amd based pc. Not a particularly big deal, but It's given me an updated view on macs. I, for the LONGEST time have despised macs and mac os. But snow leopard? I'm finding I love it. If Apple hadn't made their products so grossly over priced I'd buy a customizable mac desktop. But for now? I'm going to go ahead and say well done on snow leopard. I'm delightfully surprised.

Also I'm currently downloading xcode from apple's developer site, what should I expect from this IDE? Is it just Objective-C or am I still able to code in c++ on it.
You're able to code in Objective-C++, which allows you to combine C++ and Objective-C more or less (less), but I'm not entirely sure how coding for a Mac would be done via C++. In terms of the API, I mean. From my understanding (and this is a vague understanding) Apple favors Objective-C, but kinda' put C++ support as just a kind of bonus. Programming using Apple's SDK is more difficult to use in C++ than in Objective-C as a result of this. But don't take my word for it.
AFAIK Xcode comes with g++ but it has some problems with the stream library
couldnt get xcode to work, shame. Oh well, at least I still have CODEBLOCKS
