Mac OS X x86 Put To The Test

stivi writes "ZDNet has tested Mac OS X x86 on a Toshiba laptop. The article discusses installation process, performance and power consumption comparison and has a thorough photo gallery as well." From the article: "Mac OS X will not be available on any old x86 PC, though, as Apple wants to retain control over its hardware platform. From the company's point of view, this is an understandable position, as the margins on Apple-branded computers are much higher than is usual for standard x86 PCs. Were Apple to put the x86 version of its operating system on general release, Dell would begin to manufacture Apple clones. This would put enormous pressure on the price of Apple's own computers -- something the company is naturally keen to avoid."

Actually VW and Seat use the same platforms too ;) Leon -> Golf, Ibiza -> Polo etc .. I dont see what that guys likes about Lexus' - while I usually care more about performance than looks, I've never seen a decent looking Lexus, and they always have those crappy tail-lights. Also Hyundais actually look better than Lexus', though I've no idea about the performance differences. I'll stick with my company Civic for now, and when I'm earning enough I'll get a Colt Evo.. =p
