jdlarson83 Posted April 17, 2004 Share Posted April 17, 2004 an apple systems engineer visited our college and told us that apple does have a pc running OS X, yes is possible, but not out of the box Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLegendOfMart Posted April 17, 2004 Share Posted April 17, 2004 Now if you all stopped acting like children and explained it to him. OSX runs on PowerPC architecture, which, if im right and im no processor architecture expert, is somewhat different than the x86 processors we use in PCs. At the moment there is no emulation software out that emulates OSX, so your only bet is to buy a mac. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLegendOfMart Posted April 17, 2004 Share Posted April 17, 2004 an apple systems engineer visited our college and told us that apple does have a pc running OS X, yes is possible, but not out of the box Thats an urban myth, if apple released OSX for x86 theyed pretty much go under, why buy a ?2,000 apple mac when you can buy a ?500-800 pc to run OSX.

blik Posted April 17, 2004 Share Posted April 17, 2004 Because most apple buyers are buying the architecture i.e. risc processors to run Imaging/Video apps ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
