Not going to happen Apple owes its success to controlling the hardware and the software. It is a key reason why everything "just works" (usually). That may eventually change as VM improves, but I'm not holding my breath - even then will require a hack to do that.
Thank you, Mark Snyder -----Original Message----- I think in the end, if Apple started allowing os x on non apple x86 hardware they would gain maketshare and not commit suicide as you put it. I know many who would not spend the money to buy apple hardware to get the os, but if I could buy the os and put it on my hardware I'd do it in a second. If nothing else, Apple could release a product list of motherboards etc that would be supported, or for that matter simply say if you put our os on your hardware it's not supported at all. ************************************************************************ * ==> QUICK LIST-COMMAND REFERENCE - Put the following commands in <== * ==> the body of an email & send 'em to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <== * Join the list: SUBSCRIBE COMPUTERGUYS-L Your Name * Too much mail?
