I do not know why I should install OS X on non-Apple hardware, besides maybe safe some money. But with Linux it is already a pain to buy some basic multi-purpose printer/scanner. I went through this last time and believe me, the cost of the time that I spent on choosing the right printer that will work with Linux was higher than the printer itself. And in the end the printer still was not supported out of the box and I had to download some packages from the constructors web-site. In the end it works now - but my wife would never be able to make it work.
