On everything, no - of course not. But blind, ignorant extremism in any form just plain pisses me off. I'll gladly study up to fight it where I find it - especially when I know something about the topic at hand. And, just so we're clear: what you think doesn't enter into it. > If you are so right and I am "so tiring" then all I asked for is to see > it. Lookie here: http://wiki.osx86project.org/wiki/index.php/Installation_Guides http://www.uneasysilence.com/archive/2005/08/3937/ http://www.tech-recipes.com/rx/964/install_osx_tiger_on_intel_usb_drives_win dows An insane amount of reference material for getting Mac OS to run on x86 hardware. Here are more benchmark results than anybody could ever need: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=1395&hl=benchmark http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=9205&hl=benchmark http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=45762&hl=benchmark You'll see that mileage does vary but that generic PC hardware keeps up with (and often exceeds) Apple hardware. > But of course I never will, will I. You just did. Of couse I suspect you will continue to demand the exact evidence that you requested (a video of Nick failing to do something with Mac OS), ignoring everything else and declaring victory because of it. But you did want to see it: http://theory.isthereason.com/?p=328 http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/16/video-os-x-10-4-3-dual-booted-on-a-thinkp ad/ http://www.hardmac.com/niouzcontenu.php?date=2005-08-10 http://onlyumpc.com/news/video-mac-os-x-on-asus-r2h http://pinguy.infogami.com/blog/4tu6 At this point you will probably, unreasonably, claim that this isn't the evidence that you wanted and so discount it. But that doesn't invalidate the evidence, only your too-narrow acceptance criteria. > I didnt say it couldnt run on x86, I said i doubted it runs anywhere > near what my apple runs it at. Which is a non sequitur. You began arguing that Nick couldn't properly evaluate Mac OS on non Apple hardware. The speed of your machine is irrelevant - only the speed of his matters. What in fact are you arguing now? You change the parameters of the discussion faster than anybody can keep up. > All I asked was to see your guys claims and you get your lil panties in > a rough. Well - will you admit that the above links are evidence? And remember, before we go down another rat hole: the original claim was simply this: You can, illegally, install Mac OS X on commodity PC hardware and that this scenario is capable enough to allow the forming of a legitimate opinion on Mac OS. That's it. The above links provide more than enough evidence to back that claim. > If I made such claims and you asked me to prove it, I would. You wouldn't. The claims are cogent and clearly stated - so far I've not seen any like them from you. You demand that others provide unreasonable evidence yet you demand that others accept your anecdotal claims while changing the premise of the discussion whenever it suits you. The claims I've seen made "against" you are: 1) Some people that know both Mac OS and Windows well prefer Windows. You seem unable to accept this. You attack them saying that they don't REALLY know Mac OS or else they couldn't feel this way. This is a ridiculous stance. 2) You can run Mac OS on commodity PC hardware well enough to evaluate the OS. You seem unable to accept this. You claim that this cannot be so, that this will not perform well enough or that it simply cannot be done. This argument has been proven wrong. That's it as far as I remember. You've dragged these simple premises through mud and thorn but no matter how you stretch them they are no more complex than that.
