Apple Mac OS X on x86: a first test
Talkback As some said, what's the legitimity of such news? I mean, that it seems that the test was done with a pirated and modified version of the x86 version of OS X to permit it to install on the ""test"" box.

Talkback It was definitely a mistake to compare iTunes' performance, since iTunes is emulated on x86 right now. I don't know if Quicktime is native yet, but if it is, you might try comparing the performance of some kind of Quicktime Pro processing on OS X...

SUN and its x86 Business
Blog It with a stout heart I tackle the x86 business at SUN. We are all reminded by the all too wise analysts that the future is in commodity x86 systems and all who do not yet subscribe are doomed to an eternity of poverty.

Talkback You should know that the version of the x86 OS X you borrowed is optimized for the computers Apple gave developers.not just any x86 puter. The x86 OS X is in a relatively early stage of development? They are releasing the first x86 Macs in January.

Talkback OSX will be hacked.hrm. Getting it to run on an x86 machine shouldn't be that difficult. Despite the fact that everyone who installs the dev.release is giving them feedback on their security flaws. And yes, hardware choices will be more plentiful...

Talkback It is a pity that the first review of MacOSX on x86 was so superficial. One would have expected a deep-dive into the technical infrastructure and mapping to the x86 hardware architecture. It should have been important to explain how Apple is going...

Talkback WHY BOTHER? Why bother to tell us about this when clearly it's not going to be available for 99.9% of current x86 owners? All this article did was reinforce my feeling that Jobs is a jerk and that his company sells overpriced junk.

Talkback I just think that Apple fanatics are truly snobs, and that they think its their way or no way. I think that if OS X ran on an x86, and people used it as much as Windows, it would have as many viruses and short comings.

Talkback I agree. They should keep apple os on apples and windows on x86 systems. After all I would hate to find a piece of crap G5 processor on an awsome ASUS board. I mean all the goodies are made for x86 systems anyways.

Talkback I bought a mini mac to check out OS X but i found that it was much more limiting to work with than Windows. I couldn't stand the inconsistency. For instance, sometimes when you close the last window of an application it quits the application.

Talkback Rotten Apple: Your part of your post you said that your Mac mini was too slow, and suggested that if you are a power user to use a PC instead. Dude, if you are a power user, why did you get a Mac mini?

Talkback I'm really happy that osx will not run on an ord. PC. Reading some of the comments here; the PC people just don't deserve it, and they would only influence the platform in a bad way. Apple is all about excellence and no compromises.
