Mac OS X on intel PCs?

jsn · #1 July 29th, 2005, 08:15 AM

Hi all

Is that true that we can install Mac OS X for Intel in a regular PC?

May be we will use the first $100 computer :-)

My God, you have been on this forum since 2001 and ask a question like this? Where have you been? Please read this first.

I have to second that.

...and no, it's not true that you can install Mac OS X on a non-Apple branded Intel machine.

What is "this"? The link just sends me to a list of forums. What should I see?

Thanx.

Nobody but Apple knows at this point, and anyone that claims to know is merely speculating. Mac OS X for Intel has not been released (and the developer copies are surely not the final release candidates), so it's impossible to tell for sure.

Some speculate that it will be a hardware chip on the motherboard, others speculate it will be software-based. Your guess is as good as mine.

It's 100% guaranteed that someone will find a way to run it on a normal PC. It's just a matter of time once the first Mactel becomes available.
