Mac OS X on x86 Videos Get Apple's Attention

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the almost-getting-away-with-it dept.

RetrogradeMotion writes "The OSx86 Project is reporting that Apple has served a legal notice to MacBidouille, a French news site that posted videos and instructions on running Mac OS X on x86 hardware . You can find an English translation of the MacBidouille notice on the OSx86Project's forums. This is the first known legal action by Apple regarding the hacked version of OS X and calls into doubt the future of other news sites, similar to the OSx86 Project." Slashdot previously covered the story of hacking Mac OS X onto non-Apple hardware and followed up again a few days later.

      No, they filed for the patent too late for those designs, and Microsoft swooped in to clean up. They scrapped them when they were required to pay $10 per mile...
