I like CYGWIN.  It is very flexible in that you can install just the stuff you need and keep it lite.   I mainly use it for openssh.  The CYGWIN installer lets you choose from a ton of optional packages to install as needed, which is great.  And you can install them at anytime later on.   You can install a very thin/lite kernal and just add the optional packages as you need to.  Or you can go crazy and install everything.

 

Unless I were doing it as a hobby and just for fun, I personally wouldn't be productive building a hackintosh.  I know there are some pretty sick setups that are awesome.  I just don't have time for that degree of "high maintenance" to keep it running, particular after each OS X update comes along.  I'd rather just buy a Mac Mini or one of the many Apple laptops instead.
