Some people think Apple has leaked it's own OSX out on wearz sites. Apple might try to take down Microsoft.

I read the news a while back about how Intel would be doing the processors for the Mac but thought that the chipset platforms would still be Apple-specific so that you couldn't just build a PC rig and install OSX on it so simply. It certainly will be nice if that's the case since I'll be dual-booting OSX on my main workstation soon after. I'll either have to buy a new Raptor to install it on or run it on one of my new SCSI drives. Running MacOS on a SCSI drive.... just like the old days

I would love to have a copy of MacOS X running on my PC. PearPC is the closest I could get right now.

I am originally a Mac user, and I have always wanted a Mac to run alongside my PC. I see advantages and disadvantages of both platforms, but naturally tend towards the Mac since I started off with that system.

I wonder how much it will cost.

The torrent was removed from xxxxxxx and multiple ppl on /. are reporting that opening any of the rars just leaves you with a file containing GNAA or something over and over so it looks like it is a fake. I wish this article had never got on the web as now everyone's hopes are up and it seems like it is all for nothing. Bah...

Well, it's probably a good thing. Personally, I'm holding out for a proper copy of it. It's not good to be running a pirate OS - what if you need help? Personally, I like having Microsoft on the end of the phone to lend a hand when I need them. Also, as a paying customer, I can be as clueless as I like!

You've actually called MS on the phone for tech support?

That is the truth, I've never gotten any help from M$!

[stiltman]

Their tech support search technet just like I do, so i wouldn't find them much of a help. That was even when I didn't have to pay per call (corp contract).

I had trouble activating my copy of Windows, that was all. It was a toll-free number. They sorted me out pretty quickly and were friendly and polite throughout.

Oh well yeah there are people on the activation line... don't expect much beyond that unless you fork up some $$$
