Cringely: OS X on Intel

    What, no Linux kernel, well let's dig out another dood who wants OS X ported to Intel and will never get what a SYSTEM is about. OS X is OS matching hardware and usability.

    As soon as you stop building crap with IRQs and BIOS instead of OpenFirmware etc. they might think about it.

    Until then (and likely thereafter) You will get what You pay for.

    By the way, when will Porsche build front wheel driven cars, so I can pick out the engine and put it into a SMART?

    If You dont want it, dont buy it, if you want it cheaper, just go ahead and make one on your own or start off with a free project and make it usable. But these silly articles about OS X in Intel dont help anybody unless Apple says something (new) about this subject.
