Shame my PC is Athlon so doesn't support SSE3 - otherwise I'd try this as soon as 10.4.4 came out.
I'm sure an SSE2 hack will be out soon, just like the dev builds.

Yep. Right. To stop it as much as possible, they should have given all intel macs Firewire 800 and put the OS as only on a flash drive. That would at least slow it down heaps.Many said:Mac os x will never be hacked to run on generic PCs, apple have done everythng to stop it happening.
the_ki said:Why isn't OS X tied to EFI? Doesn't this mean that OS X is booting on machines with plain old ordinary BIOS? The Macintels are using EFI; I'll admit that I'm kind of stupid when it comes to this stuff, but how is it that OSX86 doesn't require EFI to boot?
timswim78 said:The X86 versions of OS X "phone home," and Apple has the IP address of every customer that is not running it on Apple hardware.
Lord Blackadder said:It isn't hard to imagine that a PC with Opterons or P4 EEs would run OS X blazing fast.....but it would be buggy as hell. This is really just a proof of concept hack; I imagine it is totally impractical for day-to day use.

Some apps have stabilitiy issues running on a FUGLY peecee under X and there's a list of other problems that make this more like a eye candy/weenie-who's-never-kissed-a-girl-living-in-parents-basement-no-life bragging rights type of "look at me, I'm running OS X on my Dull Inspir(onlya)moron box" to which if anyone with a clue asked them "uh, great, I guess, what are you going to do with it?" They'd give back a blank stare, because the answer is, not much.

mainstreetmark said:You gotta realize that OSX is so stable and all of that because Apple is presenting a vertically integrated package here, much like iPod/iTMS....

Unfortunatly I only had 400 dollers to spare for a computer so I had to go make myself a custom PC with what I could. These candy/weenie-whoes-never-kissed-a-girl people are getting down and dirty and putting a ******** of work to make it one day possibile for people as myself to runn the OS I love on my crappy PC.
Dont open your mouth when you live such a comfrable life and can put down 2k on a new mac. There are lots of people less fortunate than you.
seashellz said:I dont understand why APPLE is being so bullheaded about this-the faithfull-and a LOT of newcomers will STILL want to buy a superior Mac Box-and for those who dont-it cant hurt APPLE to sell a few million MORE copies a year of OS X for the PC users who want it...

WhyWhyWhy said:No shocker and am glad. Since Apple made the huge mistake of switching hardware platforms AGAIN anybody can run OS 10. I think this is what Apple wants, it's obvious, they are conforming, they have lost the edge. They make their bread and butter from the iPod, not pc's.
Bad PR for who?whocares said:Very bad PR! Won't happen.
Lord Blackadder said:Anyway, it is inevitable that people are going to hack OS X to work on non-Apple hardware, but hardware support for it will always be poor.

Apple or the thief who is stealing software!

whatever said:Basically, there would be nothing worst than seeing someone running Mac OS X on a non-optimized Mac.
If you can't afford a Mac (come on now, you're telling me that you couldn't have given up Starbucks for a month and save an additional $100.00 and get a Mac Mini) then you do use one.
Am I an elitist, you bet. Just because some one can't afford what I can, doesn't mean that they have the right to ruin what I can afford, but cheapening it's value!
I'm glad to hear that you're in college, but please try to work on both your grammer and spelling (and don't give me any lame ass excuses either!).
Whatever!
