Nope. They moved their hardware platform to Intel, but you still need Apple hardware to run OSX (legally). There are ways to get it installed on some normal PCs, but OSX hardware support is very limited and it's also very illegal.

You will spoil your experience of OS X if you start tinkering about with it on non-Mac hardware.

What your friend is talking about is illegal. It is possible (from a purely technical standpoint) to run OS X on standard hardware (with certain modifications), but this violates the EULA of the operating system. Hardware support would be a pain in the rear, and you wouldn't get any help from Apple. If you want the real OS X experience, buy a mac 
It should also be noted that you cannot download OS X Tiger from Apple - it is an operating system that you have to purchase much like Windows or certain linux distributions.
