Booting the AppleTV OS on a generic PC - Discussion

Right... the story is.. The AppleTV hardware is essentially a very low end Mac, it uses EFI. AppleTV software is basically Tiger (10.4.7 If I remember correctly) with a fancy GUI. I know you can install a replacement Finder or "Backrow.app" in an existing Tiger installation, but what's stopping us from booting the full blown AppleTV OS on PC hardware? Wasn't PC_EFI capable of booting tiger? I have an Image of the AppleTV OS (update DMG pulled from Apple servers ), I am willing to do some experimentation.. input please
