The reason I do not own a Mac is because of various things. The biggest being upgradability and price. For the computer I use now, I had picked all the parts and went home and built it. ( which is half the fun!) Then went to the store and picked up my OS. XP Pro. It works like a charm. I can go into it and tweak it and do all sorts of upgrades to my hardware without replacing the whole machine. For A LOT cheaper. I work on eMacs at my job, and I can tell you my PC is faster. As is my experience. But the Mac sure looks better than the frankenstein I built here, haha ...well more aerodynamic anyway.

From what i can see Macs would do well to make their system available to PC users. I would like to have both on my system, but, as someone posted before, Mac is a hardware company and looking to sell their product. and perhaps not really interested in the diverse application of their operating system (eg. pc compatible). Really not unlike Lexmark which is an ink company, which sell (disposable) printers as a vehicle so you will buy the ink.

Hopefully it won't be long before we see OSX for pc, but who knows. A deal with Intel seems to make it that much closer. Then again Microsoft could have a surprise for everyone with the new OS.

We'll wait and see I guess.

I’ve been lax this morning because the OS X Intel torrent finally downloaded. I approached my computer with apprehension and palpable turgidity—could this be the fabled x86 OS X ISO? Had I found the Grail of legend, the last disk from which Steve Jobs accessed data before he passed from this world into the darkling plain of the superego?

I cut open a fresh CD-R and my optical drive ejected, its open maw awaiting the sweet release of burning. The CD-R was too small. What magic was this? I opened a window to release the foul vapors that were emanating from the computer, a mix of sulphur and goat-smells that predated man’s early walk with the Woz, our Savior, He of the 8-bit Instruction Set. I was turning from a mere mortal to an OSXomancer, a dark priest with control of both the living and the dead. I would walk in a land that for 5 years ran parallel to our own, a land formed by the the wizened crones of Cupertino who every night at midnight burned two copies of each build—one for the humans and one for the gods.

Hi, I'm brand new here and I think for the moment, I'm pretty happy with making XP looking like OSX Tiger because I can't afford a G5 lol...I can see how people do want to grab the pirated version though but I couldn't be bothered downloading a huge file like that and I would rather wait until I can afford the real thing

well first of all the video posted earlier is VNC the maker of the video is a Spymac member and second of all the torrent is a fake several very reliable sources have reported the thing is nothing but porn. The file size is far wrong anyway. Regardless of what it is anyone downloading this is scum IMO not to mention an idiot... why d/l an OS that you wont get any support or updates for?

And why in the world do people think that there is only one torrent? Yeah, there was a fake, it was obvious to anyone with half a brain. Now seemingly everyone is a doom-sayer?

My reliable sources know one that is very, very real... but it was taken down abruptly.

Scheduled release is also slated... just has to find a way to remove the ID, or Apple will know who it is.

All I'm reading is drivers, blah, blah, blah, doomed from the start. Bah! bunch of parrots!

Screw official support! Did PearPC die because of no driver support, even dummy ones? NO!

People can and have written drivers. We don't need Apple's hand-holding. I don't think I need to bring up FreeBSD.

This is the HOLY GRAIL for Aqua-Softians!

I for one would just be happy to have a little taste of aqua at full speed.

LOOK. The snowball is gaining momentum. And even if it turns into another version of Graphite, It's still worth looking into.

whoevers says they dont want to get thier hands on this is a "liar" or you would not even be a member of this community, and the only scum I see are those that judge people.

I dont want to get my hands on this I have a G5 why would I want a illegal developer release?

People say theres is more than one release that may be if it was retail but its not were talking about major developers this will be kept on a tight leash from Apple. Everyone seems to of uproared for one thing, you all want this. If you wanna justify stealing then thats your call.

You Sir are an idiot.

Go watch tubgirl and get off on your warez, 1337 OSX running machine.

And what chance has a snowball in hell?

Did i Saw Twinkigabuki? - read before you talk, makes you look bad.

Stupidity in this thread - The general content feel of this thread is stupid (mind you, the content)

This, however, doesnt mean Twinkigabuki is an idiot. Im clearing this up just because you seem to have infered the later (how? it escapes me, but you have)

Now, re read and go have a fit about something else.

heh, maybe you sould do the same.

I was clearly responding to the above insult to me.

You should have learned by now that i`m not one of those compassionate/nice people.

And i stand behind my claim - everyone who claims he has "sources" is full of crap.

Now, may i offer you some cheese with your whine?
