I you purchase the OS, then how could it be illegal? against EULA? Probably, but that doesn't necessarily make it illegal. Unlocking and Jailbreaking the iPhone goes against EULA, but it is not illegal...

Your doing something with an OS that it is not specifically intended to do. Apple will not give you any support, but there are communities online devoted to getting OSX on PC. The only illegal thing would be if you get any copywrited files (read: iTunesMobileDevice.dll) via the web. But even so, no one cares that you are doing this (legally speaking). I bet apple would care even less if you purchased an actual copy of the OS.

Just my $0.02
