engadget.com— "By now a lot of us have seen videos of Apple OS X running on PCs, but we got ahold of this latest video of 10.4.3 running on a Thinkpad -- and it's running damned fast if you ask us. "

Hmm...that is almost cool...Except I do the same thing everyday with the DellGX280 I am writing this from.Sorry, but no digg....very old news...and may I mention that its not all that hard. OSXX86 on a Motion Computing M1400 tablet....yeah...thats hard!
"So? These hackers'll never get past 10.4.4."That's a very ignorant comment, nothings perfect and everything can be "got past" you just have to know how to do it, It may take them some time but if they want to they can run whatever they want on anything.
Yeah after seeing the number of reverse-engineering projects I've seen over the years, I really don't see how Apple is going to prevent 10.4.4 from being installed on Intel boxes. Someone will find a way around it. They always do.If nothing else people will need to get a motherboard that supports EFI and then the hackers will just need to remove the protection.
"The hardest part is really finding a download."Seems easy enough to me.../me hugs NewsLeecher, Super Search & 10mbit connection"JaS 1111a Generic Patch v4.2bWell this Is the Completion Of weeks of testing patches and trying to work out bugs in the patching and system in general.This patch will give you Nforce 2/ 3 /4 ATA support and VIA ATA /SATA To boot the dvd and also after the install.It includes the following patches by maxxuss:- Kernel Patch v4.2b (SSE3,SSE2 Emulation v4.2b, no NX/DX, CPUID & RTC Fixed)- Maxxuss_sse Tool v1.1 -In your osx root - Anti-TPM Patch v1- Bootloader Patch (skips SSE3 check)- A directory on the root of the drive called Patches containing the orginal kernel And All the patches for the kernel so you can mix and match if you need to.Thanks nth and maxxussThe kernel has all the patches applied so that it will be compatible withthe largest number of systems available from the get-go. You can replacethe kernel with the version with fewer patches after installation if youwish. You can create your own kernel using maxxuss's patchfiles set in the Patches Directory It also includes the following :- AC97 Audio: supports Intel,VIA,nForce & Ensoniq ES1371(VMWare sound)- Parallel ATA: supports nForce & VIA - PS/2 Controller: needed for PS/2 keyboard/mouse/trackball and VMWare- AMD PC-Net II: needed for VMWare networking support (by maxxuss)- DVD Playback with SSE2 Patch (by maxxuss) Optional-In the Patches directory- SSE2 patched ATI Video Drivers (by maxxuss) Optional-In the Patches directory- SATA support for Intel and VIA- Removes AppleTPMACPI & AppleFPMemDriverIf the patched DVD still does not install on your system natively, trywithin VMware ( <a class="user" href="http://win2osx.net/forum/showthread.php?t=1689">http://win2osx.net/forum/showthread.php?t=1689</a> )"
