More Mac OS X on Plain Old x86 Boxes

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the i-don't-hardly-believe-it dept.

Slashfan writes "It has been widely reported all over the Internet that it is extremely easy to get the Intel port of Mac OS X to run on regualar PC boxes. Some of the hackers are running the tweaked version of the operating system on their PCs natively." Pardon my skepticism ;)

    Running OS X on a Dell is like putting race car parts in your Yugo. You can, it is sort of funny, but... why?

    Yes, for example, it was reported on Slashdot just yesterday.

    So you have no graphics, sound and networking, but other than that it runs just fine? I'd guess that's taking the famous mac usability one step further.

    This sounds just like a set of open-source bomb defusing instructions I read:

            1. Remove bomb housing

            2. Unscrew blasting cap cover, counter-clockwise

            3. Locate red wire with a white stripe

            4. Cut red wire with white stripe near blast cap connector

            5. Now the bomb should be defused, but before you begin, move the bomb to a remote, secured area and wear appropriate protective gear.
