I was reading my brothers apple mac magazine, and well I saw this car......It was running Mac OS X, seriously, this car was driven by Apple Macs, and is being entered in a competition race where no custom car has crossed the finish line, wonder if it\'ll win

I bet if microsoft made one it would keep crashing (haha bad joke)

So I wonder if apple will market it, the extra merchendise for Mac Geeks

Actually you can install MacOSx86 on any PC with the SSE3 instruction set. Turns out Apple's been developing OSX for x86 processor platform the entire time since they're switching their computers to Intel procs in a few years. Simple search for OSx86 PC install or something like that, or just keep a watchful eye on http://digg.com, they've always got news on this stuff.

got one its called Crystal XP with the dock program, but I'm sure your one is better, the dock slows me PC down, and its slow already

My brother being the mac geek, I already heard about that, cool, can't wait, but I would want a mac with a second windows hard drive because, Macs have more stable hardware as well as OS The best mac would be a Power Mac G5 top spec with multiple hard drives supporting 4 OS's Mac OS X tiger, Mac OS 9, Windows(What ever the best windows os is) and Linux. But that would be a bundle

I would laugh if a Windows driven car was made, would show that Apple/Mac users think of these things first, as I do with OS I wouldn't feel safe with a windows car

the entire time? just recently actually, but because they are switching to Intel, but not in a few years, i read next year some time...
and i tried that Mac on a standard computer, and it didnt really work too well, i got it installed and everything, but i think i got the wrong ISO or something, because i dont think it was patched right and it said i was missing a "debugger" or something, at startup, all that time! now i just installed Xandros instead and it's way nice

yes the entire time it has worked on for intel based architecture since its first inception, and your cracked download does not count against a proper version which will be available for certain X86 architecture next year.

there is already a crack as well that unlocks the OS from the specfic PC x86 architecture which means you can try and install on it on any machine but there is no apple support for it.

If no-one gives your an answer to a question you have asked, consider:- Is your question clear.- Did you ask nicely.- Are you showing any effort to solve the problem yourself &#63743;
