  1. Re:Just give me the GUI, we've already got the OS on If Mac OS X Came to x86, Would You Switch? · · Score: 1

    If the Window Server and API were opened like Darwin is, then somebody else could rewrite it... for me.

    I guess I don't know enough about thier business model to see why other portions of the OS (GUI and API) are not open.

  2. Just give me the GUI, we've already got the OS on If Mac OS X Came to x86, Would You Switch? · · Score: 1

    I'm thinking the other way around. Imagine if the source were opened for the OS X GUI and API, --now imagine this GUI on top of Linux.

    All the applications are already there for Linux, and I don't know about you but I'd give up X11 and it's bloated, M$-aping window managers in a heartbeat.

    Apple can still sell thier premium hardware while developing open-source software. Why hasn't this already happened?
