Aug 22, 2012 at 13:34 comment added kluka @hqt see here lockergnome.com/osx/2012/02/24/are-hackintosh-computers-legal Apple does not allow it. "Use MacOS on Windows" is also wrong btw; unless the topic suddenly changed to virtualising ;)
Apr 27, 2012 at 14:32 comment added hqt No. Use MacOS on Windows is not illegal. Apple just doesn't support this for any error appear !!!

Made it more quote style like how the automated messages look, also noted that this has been written by Sathya as not to be confused that Diago would be talking about his own answer.
Feb 23, 2012 at 10:48 comment added Sathyajith Bhat Mod There is no reversal in status. Diago's answer still holds good from a moderation point of view.

Feb 23, 2012 at 0:16 comment added Arjan Good point, @Gilles, especially as when I deleted my answer I flagged Diago's answer to ask the moderators to make Diago's answer more official. Though that flag was considered helpful, no such change was made. Any moderator: feel free to delete my answer again, if the above is indeed the official point of view.
Jan 15, 2012 at 18:05 comment added Abhi Beckert Are you sure SU "doesn't want to build a reputation" for this kind of stuff? I seem to recall an interview with one of the stack exchange founders, where he said, in general, he has no problems at all with "questionable" questions (he was talking about breaking NDA's on stack overflow).
Jan 10, 2012 at 19:44 comment added user11574 In that case, don't say, "Super User doesn't want to build a reputation for encouraging something that ... may not be illegal;" say, "Super User doesn't want to build a reputation for encouraging any activities contrary to EULAs." These are completely distinct concepts.
Jan 8, 2012 at 19:10 comment added Tamara Wijsman @sampablokuper: We don't want to encourage using different methods than those allowed by the usage agreements, whether or not the user agreement holds in court. As there aren't worldwide guaranteed legal agreements, we can't suppose this is completely legal. We don't want to discuss every single matter that might be illegal in one or another way, it's very clear that if one does a Hackintosh that he is not using what he is supposed to be using. As a comparison, BitTorrent and Tor have their legal uses and merely serve as a medium hence those are allowed...

Minor grammar
Apr 22, 2011 at 0:35 comment added user11574 SU doesn't want to build a reputation for encouraging something that may not be illegal? You want to rule out encouraging legal activities?
