come on guys, Mac OS X is not open source and you cant hack, modify (whatever you call it) to run on a non-apple system legally. Its no secret That I strongly oppose anyone doing it.  would it be nice to run OS X on a system I build myself? You bet! but thats not going to happen! Now if apple has a change of heart and opens OS X up to any PC then trust me I will have it installed before you can blink! but untill that happens it IS illegal, it IS aginst the EULA so lets stop discussing it, I cant stop you from doing it but PLEASE don't post link on how to do it or videos showing it off!

Mac,
If you realize it or not, what you and Apple are suggesting is called "impeding progress"
If technology exists, (Which it does.) you can't simply close your eyes to it.
Changing one molecule in a formula and allowing it to create a cure for a disease can
also be considered Illegal  but if it could cure cancer, it would be allowed.
Allowing a few changes in an operating system to allow it to run on a computer other than the
one manufactured by Apple isn't any different.
There are many people who own a computer capable of running OSX with a few changes in it coding.
It's affordable for most of us purchase the software. It's nor financially feasible for us to purchase another computer.
The technology is there. It will happen. Apple can either be a part of it, or not. That's their choice.

Apple's OS their choice and they say no. Also there is no way sasha has a legal copy of the OS X install DVD. How Do I Know? Im sitting here looking at the OS X Tiger retail box and it ONLY includes the PowerPC version (all intel macs shipped with tiger so there is no need for those users to buy a retail disc)

Running OS X will not cure cancer. Apple OWNS the code to OS X AND APPLE will say what you can do with it just like Microsoft owns the code to Windows.

Eventually because of people like you guys apple will use some kind of validation like Microsoft was forced to do to try and protect their software. Actually I welcome it! I hope it requires you so include your Mac's Serial number and model number to be verified before you can install.

Microsoft took over the market because they allow windows to be installed on any system, good for them. Apple chose to limit OS X to their hardware only so...

STOP PIRATING APPLE'S OPERATING SYSTEM

Microsoft was forced to stop some of it's so called "Monopolistic Practices"
Since Apple now runs on the same dual-core computer as Win. XP and/or Vista,
Not allowing OSX to run on this system could be considered a Monopolistic Practice".
Unfortunately, Apple isn't exempt from those practices any more than Microsoft or AOL.  :)

with 5% of the worldwide computer market Apple is far far from a monopoly (The iPod is diffrent matter)

Apple Used to license the Mac OS just like MS but stopped when their hardware plummeted. The way apple has it now you must buy the computer from apple and the OS so they make far more than they would on just the OS. Apple can not compete directly with microsoft head to head (just look Dell, HP, gateway etc all already are MS cutomers) so unless there are some major changes at aple the OS will not be avaliabe to non-Apple hardware.

That would only work if the software was hardwired. As long as it's software and can be bought at a store, it can't be considered
anything other than softeware.  ;D

I realize that, and im sure apple does too, they have said that they are still working on a better protection method for OS 10.5's final release so lets hope its much improved and can stop this

We appear to be on oppisides of the fence. You're hoping they can stop it and I'm hoping they'll see the light
and open up the market.

Mac,

Do you know what Mac systems OS X 10.5 will support? Just wondering if it will support G3 macs.

Justin the final system requirements have not been posted however I would expect it to be something like this:

Built in Firewire (tiger requires this so im sure leopard will too)
600Mhz PowerPC G3 or PowerPC G4/G5 (or Intel)
512MB of RAM



The official system requirements will not be known until the RTM release is ready

Developer Preview which developers have now is a Alpha/Early beta quality release

As soon as I find out what it will require I will post it on the forums here so just look for that post sometime in the coming months
