DELL want OSX

[Joe]

Michael Dell is interested in licensing Apple's Mac OS.

I've mentioned several times in the past few months that executives from several PC companies have told me of their interest in Apple's Mac OS X operating system. Sadly my sources would not let me attribute these assertions; PC executives are pretty leery of offending Microsoft, which holds enormous power over their businesses. So, many readers have challenged me on this point.

aint gonna happen M8 apple like their killah app esp since if a Cedega layer was added to OSX86 the fing could run pc apps including games . ..

on the upside since all of OSx's components are beomng ported to X86 it wont take long for the linux community to crack them open and apply them to a DARWIN OS

Hmmm...if it turns out tht it is easily portable then I may have to rn a new drive just for OSX

the core of osx is already available for X86 pcs in the form of darwin (availible here) its just missing some components of OSx <namley cocoa carbon and quartz> these should be easily ported to the darwin sytem as soon as they are released as x86 binaries so basicaly with little cracking <mayb emulation of apple security chip> these *should* be easily run on normal x86 pcs <hell OSX86 itself shoudl be easily cracked>

I'd run an osx86 partition on my shit in a heartbeat if I had the chance... let's hope someone can make it happen

I'd buy a SATA HDD just for OSX if it meant OSX would run on my PC

LOL menaing Xp inst all right <IMO> like an non life threadtning STi (not im my life experience tho) it only destroys your quality of life <restarting just because u have run for 7+ hours and its memory is wholey fragmented, having to tell a company your life history cause u wish to reinstall the os because of a fault it created ETC ETC > XP is a mess of patches and updates and the freebsd kernel of OSX is fantastic in every way thats all im saying
