Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger for x86 Leaked?

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the believe-it-when-i-boot-it dept.

patr1ck writes "Mac Daily News is reporting that Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger for x86 processors has been leaked to the internet already. Apparently the version running on the development kit machines is easily transfered to run on any x86 machine. Conspiracy theorists unite: an Apple marketing scheme?"

    So, now that PC users have access to OS X, can I safely assume that some doorknob somewhere is feverishly working on creating the first virus for OS X on Intel so it'll be ready when the first machines roll out the door next year?

    Does this mean that there will be high end macs (ppc) and low end macs (intel)?

    Ok, first before you call someone a dummy make sure you can spell it correctly, fucking retard.

    Second, my point stands, apparently this works on non-apple hardware, and if it doesn't yet then it will. (And excuse the regedit reference - everyone pointed out that I was wrong to use that name but knew the direction I was going.

    Third, Microsoft doesn't lose money like Apple stands to on pirated Windows because they don't sell hardware.

    Fourth the BETA you are refering to, if it is a full 10.4 release, (which if you watched the Developers Conference it appears to be) then like I said it is a hella usefull piece of software.

    So to recap I did RTFA and at least I understood it - so watch who you call "dumby."
