OS X running on a TCPA/TPM-free x86 PC?

VMware OS X

For the uninitiated, VMware is virtual machine software—an x86 to x86 emulator of sorts—that lets you run a second operating operating system in an entirely enclosed, emulated environment. What's our point? Well, we have no way of knowing for sure whether these shots are faked, but someone by the pseudonym blex86r was apparently able to get OS X for x86 running in VMware—including ATSServer module emulated by Rosetta, a major component required by the GUI supposedly protected by the TCPA/TPM on the Intel dev kit DVD. We're gonna have to give this a go this weekend, we think. Anyone else having any luck out there?
