Ask HN: Hackintosh Thinkpad being used for Mac OSX developement

I would like to develop OSX/iOS, but after looking at the Mac's I can't imagine 1) Having a glossy screen (they don't appear to offer matte any more) 2) No pointing stick (I'm addicted to the red dot)

I have been using a Lenovo Thinkpad for years, and was wondering if anyone successfully using one for iOS/OSX development?

So, Is anyone using a hackintosh(preferably with a pointing stick) for iOS developement? I need reliability and I'm slighly concerned after reading some forums http://www.tonymacx86.com/snow-leopard-laptop-support/18619-lenovo-x220-3.html

If you don't have advice about hackintoshes, how do you do development on multiple operating systems on a single laptop(especially if you are a pointing stick addict)?

So far virtual machines have been quiet painful for me, but I would still love some advice.
