Posting this from Mac OS X x86 :)
Mundane
Elite Ranger
in Zocalo v2.0
Just had to try it. Posting this from Mac OS X Tiger on my Dell Inspiron 8600 with dualboot to Windows XP. I got ethernet, wifi and sound working. No graphics acceleration nor higher resolution than 1280 and 32bit colour.

Well you can always stick with Windows :rolleyes:
Personally I get alot more out of my Mac then I ever have out of my IBM compatible PC.
IF we are talking about gaming though that a whole nother story.

I hate Macs, but I just had to try it out of curiosity

The official release version will be locked to Apple's hardware. Expect it to be cracked real soon after release, but still not work properly on most hardware due to lack of driver support.
[B]Tell me one game that supports Linux? [/B][/QUOTE]
UT 2k3 and 2k4 both have linux versions on the same discs as the windows, kinda like Blizzard does for windows/mac

true, but if PearPC can run MacOS emulated on a PC now, perhaps they'll find a way to get it to run moderatly fast on a PC
HOWEVER, with the price of Mini's, its almost not worth it.
plus, we had a couple Apple Hadware Engineers in earlier this summer, and i was talking to them and i mentione d that the price of the mini was great, and that when they swithced to Intel i might get one, and he said "well with the Intel mini being only $399 that only makes sense" then he got real quiet like he said something he shouldnt have.
So MAYBE, the Intel Mini is gonna be even cheaper.
i'd love it if it was $399, i need 10 of them.

I have only been using linux for 2 months, it is a whole differnt boat load of bananas with line commands and stuff.. But I have actually found some games specificly made for linux but my hardware needs upgrading

What he said...
Driver support will likely be the biggest problem. I don't see Apple making a generic x86 version of the OS. Too much of their profit likely results from the sale of hardware. It also means they loose a lot of control in hardware support which means more problems like those MS faces. Bad for their image.
Still, might get a Mac-mini when I get out of the Finnish defence forces.

Enough people that will create open-source drivers I suppose....

The guy probably broke the NDA. :D
Newegg is selling the faster model for $499

after he said it, he got really fidgity, so who knows, either way, i really think that them switching to Intel is a good thing.
MIGHT finally drive the price of mac hardware down.
