osx86project.org — The rather creative OSx86 hacking community has created another release, this time to update existing 10.4.1 installations. A few of the many new features introduced in the update are updated Safari & Webkit, the x86 unibin of Flash, and speed enhancements.

If you're running AMD, fat chance of getting a usable system out of it. But if you're running an intel machine its actually working well. (Ironically it seems that Dell's work the best)

"If you're running AMD, fat chance of getting a usable system out of it. But if you're running an intel machine its actually working well. (Ironically it seems that Dell's work the best)"What are you talking about? My Athlon 64 is doin' just fine.

They seed the 10.4.3 DTK version to developers so they can work the bugs out and someone happened to compile it and throw it into torrent.

So, I might be really behind things, but is Apple gonna actually release a Box, for x86 hardware, and compete 1:1 w/ MS? Cuz that'd be sooo sweet.
aeontorporOct 31, 2005
eee.. by Box i mean... shelved software.. like at your local computer store.

AeonTorpor,That's a negatory, "ghostrider!"Apple is a hardware company 1st and foremost! Hardware not only cuts the mustard, but it butters their bread! Apple will not risk becoming a software company until the world proves to Apple, via theft x 1 Million, that people want OS X so badly they are willing to steal it, via any method.When 1 Million people are running OS X on beige boxes, then Apple will reconsider becoming a software company, and when that happens, Steve Ballmer is going to have a cow!

mrfxYou can clearly see his fear. And all Linux and MS Trolls should fear Apple. Once they make the transition to Intel, it's going to be a totally different world. You seriously think the iPod phenomenon was just some kind of freakish luck? Heh... we'll talk again in 7 months.

> Can't believe people are stupid enough to waste time on this crapsome of us waste our time with this "crap" because we have several thousand desktops for which we're contemplating the ramifications of switching over to OS X... which, of course, isn't going to happen unless Apple does a beige box release.>>No, don't point me to the Mac Mini. My four year old PC is faster than that thing.> I love the Mac envy in people who constantly disrespect themMy girlfriend almost kicked her mini to the curb and pulled her P3 out of the closet when the mini became far too slow after less than 6 months of use (turns out all it needed was a memory upgrade). All she does is browsing and e-mail, yet this *IS* the experience and impression that Apple leaves their novice users with. In this regard, Apple may have fscked themselves with the mini.> Linux with a working, GUI, that I can get my work doneLinux is a fragmented market with too many players. No doubt that Linux and OS X could be peers, but the unfortunate reality is that they are not and not for the technical reasons you might imagine.> Apple [...] release a Box, x86 hardware, and compete 1:1 w/ MS?No... because Jobs is a temperamental art fag sissy boy who doesn't take failure well, Apple is going to decline to compete with Microsoft 1:1. It's really a matter of corporate psychology rather than good business sense (Apple shareholders take note!).> When 1 Million people are running OS X on beige boxes, > then Apple will reconsider becoming a software company, Problem is that Apple has no way to measuring just how big the beige box demand actually is or might be. What Apple seems to not understand is that beige box OS X will *NOT* eat into their hardware sales. This is not an Apple or the Clone scenario. Until beige box OS X is legitimate, business will *always* default to the lower cost alternative (on the other hand, you would not believe how easy it is for businesses to justify spending $60 to $120 per user for software) and individuals will continue to lap-up whatever Microsoft s**ts into their food dish via PC manufactures.If Apple is correct in their assumption that people will pay for superior design, then they have absolutely *nothing* to fear from the beige box market. They got screwed once with the clones, but I suspect they didn't realize just how much money there was to be made in software (the clones were not commodity items; they were simply lower cost than the hardware apple made). Selling an operating system to the beige box market is about capturing market share (playing catch up very, very quickly) and using the general crappyness of the hardware in the beige box market to drive sales of their superior product.> and when that happens, Steve Ballmer is going to have a cow!Steve Ballmer should be having a cow and s**tting bricks right *NOW*. If he's not having a cow and s**tting bricks, then he's a crap CEO. He has less than 8 months until all hell breaks loose (of course Apple should be banging their head against a brick wall for missing out on the Christmas '05 sales opportunity... hype has a definite window of opportunity and god knows what Christmas '06 is going to look like).

Coming back and looking at this old digg, I want to say that the above comment was pretty awesome. Let me quote it:"P.S. Finally starting to see all this Mac v PC s**t for what it really is: people arguing for arguments sake. They both have their strengths and weaknesses. It is just like people hating Microsoft for being Microsoft. They are what they are and they do what they do well. Respect where respect is due."
