I`m not the biggest fan of windoze or most micro$oft products, but the fact of the matter is that performance, compatability, and price are all on it`s side. OsX is an okay system, but it`s still not very intuitive, and is designed like a sandbox for the mentally ill of the computing world. I want options and access more than anything, and with practically every other system, this can be easily had. As far as Apple and the image they put out, check out the specs on the systems, and then go price the parts at your favourite outlet, that`s a big profit margin that i`m not willing to pay for underpowered sandbox equipment. The future I foresee is not Mac or PC but a series of modular open source systems with full cross-platform compatibility and access to every aspect of the system itself, with more emphasis on customization and personalization while maintaining sets of standards to ensure information and communications flow. I don`t pay for image or “coolness”, I pay for results and function, and right now Mac is still losing.

I think a big reason the Mac is so successful and people see it as less prone to crashes is that the OS and the hardware is all designed, tested and configured by the same people….

Personally I think if Mac OSX was legally available from Apple for any pc they would lose some of their “easy to use” / “robust” image for the OS. People are bound to have problems with graphics card BLAH, dodgy cheap motherboard this etc. etc., while running OSX, and this may affect its reputation.

That’s the reason I personally think Apple want to keep the status quo, but who cares it can be run on pc hardware now so the genie is out the bottle.

I’ve been looking this but sadly hackintish lacks marketing skills to promote OS X can run to on PC, Viva Mac OS for Everyone, especially us who know apple is a good one touse beside windows and Linux Kernel.

Is there any similar Performance modification OS X Leopard or Tiger running for old mac, such as Tiny Vista or micro or Performance XP

post the link so it can be visible via torrent or google

Thanks

I’m long time sick with macroslop winblows. I’ve been using Ubuntu and am quite happy with it. I triple-boot because though I prefer Ubuntu I am enslaved to macroslop because of my software. Simply not all software I need will work with linux and wine, or even vista64, therefore, I also run xp32. I’ve had the rare pleasure of using OS X, and found it familiar to my beloved Ubuntu. I see mac’s lack of PC compatibility as a modern segregation. I’ll not give up my PC as I’ve been building, upgrading, and rebuilding my own machine for at least a decade. I know it’s every spec and quirk and am entirely one with it. Though OS X is impressive, my machine is my real investment and I have no intention of throwing it out for any OS. ( Besides, Mark Shuttleworth is hinting at a future Ubuntu that’ll kick macroslop’s and smack-n-toss’s aces. )

I truly deeply hope that the sentence “From today, Mac OS X is compatible with every computer in the world!” will NEVER be spoken from either Steve nor some other from his company :]
