Leopard Already Hacked To Run On PC Hardware

Posted by Zonk on from the fast-moving-kitties dept.

PoliTech passed us a PC World link, noting that the newest version of OS X, Leopard, has already been adapted to run on a PC. "The OSx86 Scene forum has released details of how Windows users can migrate to Apple's new OS, without investing in new hardware -- even though installing Leopard on an PC may be counter to Apple's terms and conditions. The forum is offering full instructions on how to install the system, including screenshots of the installation process. Not all the features of Leopard function with the patch -- Wi-Fi support, for example, is reportedly inoperable. Historically, Apple's likely next move will be to track down and act against those behind the hack."

    It's #3: Actively interfering with attempts to run on third-party hardware

    They could, of course, realease an unsupported "hobbyists" edition without the hardware lockin in license, but that would mean less reason for people to pay their 30% (or so) hardware markup.
