OS X On the MSI Wind

Posted by timothy on from the os-x-doesn't-make-it-a-mac dept.

Ruler of Planets writes "PlanetX64 has just published an article on loading OS X on an MSI Wind, effectively creating a machine that is smaller and lighter than a Macbook Air. The exercise was done solely for academic purposes and doing so voids all kinds of warranties, but hey, now you can slip a Mac into a lab coat pocket!"

    "OMG, I would totally buy OSX in a second and run it on my box. Why doesn't Apple become a software company? Everyone would drop MS in a second. Apple would make a lot of money on volume."

    Where does the "Just because you have your head so far up Steve Jobs's arse" vitriol come from?

    Because it is fun teasing fanatics - religious or not, they're still a bunch of crazies.

    A friend of mine has one and wrecked the USB port (the manner of failure being essentially irrelevant).

    Yes, no matter how many times I warned steve (our mutual friend), he was adamant - That MBA was totally hot, and totally into him. After that first night of passion, he was ready for more - but she was ruined.

    So, on one hand, Steve was upset because his new GF wasn't able to put out anymore. But on the other hand, he now thinks he's god's gift to women.
