Incorrect.

Purchasing the OS does not license you to install it on non Apple 
hardware. The purchased OS Leopard, Tiger and other versions are 
'UPGRADE' versions only that are allowing you to 'upgrade' your 
existing Mac OS to the version that you purchased.

Apple does not sell versions for users that do not already have an 
Apple OS installed on their computer.
