Hackintosh (and other) questions
Hello! So I'm considering building my own PC, and am possibly considering a hackintosh. However, I've been doing some reading, and it sounds like that hackintoshes aren't well-known for their stability. Does anyone have any experience with these, and know how well they function?
If I'm looking at something that's more trouble than it's worth, I would like to know what the best way to mass transfer files from my Macbook to a Windows machine. I know both support FAT32, but I get the feeling it's going to be a little more complicated than "plug in an ethernet cable and watch a movie" like moving stuff from my iMac to my Macbook was.

The easiest options for transferring your files, depending on quantity, would be to either throw them all on a USB flashdrive/external harddrive, or create a writeable share on the new Windows box and just move everything you want to keep from the macbook over.
However, tread very carefully. You need to learn a lot, and be prepared for odd breakages on occasion with updates and so on. If you want a stable, carefree, easy to use computer with minimal effort, build a (Windows|Linux|whatever) box of your choice or buy a Mac. There's a big community around it, but you'll need to be prepared to put a lot of effort into learning about Hackintoshing/EFI/drivers/OS X/yada yada. It's worth it for me, but I'd strongly warn even very competent users to think very carefully before jumping on this path.
