FuzzButt Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 (edited) I was pondering this as I was doing a bit of FreeBSD research and came upon how Darwin is now fully UNIX compatible. Since this is not mentioned anywhere here that I can tell I wonder if anyone has tried it. Might be pretty cool to have the Mac without the Apple getting in the way $$$$ wise.Edit: Seems someone has already done this. Interesting. Might not be too legal but sure is interesting proof of concept. No I am not going to post the link. Sure seems like a missed market if you ask me.

ross549 Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 No, it is not legal. It is violation of the EULA of OSX.Unfortunately, we cannot discuss this subject here, because of the legal ramifications.Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FuzzButt Posted November 1, 2007 Author Share Posted November 1, 2007 You can delete this thread if you want Adam. I meant 10.5 and was pointing out that it is a shame that Apple is not marketing their new OS for non MAC use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ross549 Posted November 10, 2007 Share Posted November 10, 2007 'Tis not for me to delete.... :DDiscussion about running OSX on non-Apple machines is not a bad topic, in fact, I like the idea, and wonder when Apple will make that step. it would be very cool, but I really don't see it happening soon. Apple is really poised to make a run on Windows.The rules prohibit us from discussing how to get it working in its current form, such as posting links to sites that demonstrate it in action.I don't think I even understand my own answer there.... so let's post a simple rule reminder..... 5. Do not ask for, offer to supply, or post links to, copies of commercial software, MP3s, movies, CD Keys, Product Keys, Serial Numbers, etc. or other intellectual property for which you do not hold the copyright. Do not ask for or post information about or link to anything unlawful. This includes but is not limited to copies of pirated commercial software, commercial music files, movies, and other intellectual property. Do not post any information, or link to any site that contains information, intended to violate the Terms of Service or End User License Agreement of any service, product, or application. Do not request or provide password hacks or cracks.A similar discussion came up regarding p2p software. I think the rule makes it fairly clear. :)Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bjf123 Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 Apple is, first and foremost, a hardware company.I always thought the same. However, I recently watched an interview Walter Mossberg from the Wall Street Journal did with Steve Jobs and Bill Gates. In it, Jobs states that he views Apple as a software company. You can find the interview as a video podcast at the iTunes Store. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
