Mac OS X Running on Non-Apple Hardware

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the mac-of-borg dept.

MacBeliever writes "Inevitably, Mac OS X for x86 has been hacked to run on a non-Apple PC. Is this the beginning of the fulfillment of the Dvorak prophecy?" RetrogradeMotion also writes "The OSx86 Project has posted a how-to guide telling how to run OS X on any Windows or Linux-based PC using VMWare." Not 100% corroborated, so ingest with salt.

    Apple build quality hardware?

    Is this what you are saying?

    The biggest marketing 180 ever done -- Apple goes from CRAP hardware to PREMIUM hardware.

    The company that was too cheap to put interrupts and DMA in their systems, and then had the gall to brag about it.

    The company that delights in sealed up cases, and consumer lock-in, on really bad hardware (I have purchased "Macs" with unshielded SCSI cables straight from Apple -- and of COURSE they didn't work).

    The company that abandons users (hey, I was dumb enough to buy a Newton).

    So sure, let the "fanbois" and "fangrrls" have at it.
