Actually, you can install OSX onto a PC. There are issues over the type of CPU/Board/Graphics you use to make it work, but it's not that hard. I believe there is a OSX 10.5 version floating around, in ISO format, so you can test it out. You can also set it up for Dual Boot, but wouldn't recommend it. Do a search for "OSX86" and "PC" and there'll be a few sites that explain how to do it etc. It will allow for the main elements of OSX, and also allow Network Connectivity to a Windows network so you can backup and get online. Most software runs on it as far as i know. I'm downloading it now to test it out on a spare system over the next week, as I'm in the same position as you Meanwhile, I suggest you have a a look at: www.unitytutorials.com and review the 4 stage game build doc. It will give you a good understanding of how technical it is for something so basic.
