[S.MULLA]

a new emulator called PearPC seems to be able to run OS X on x86 machines:

How do you figure anyone NEEDS OS X? or a mac period. when was the last time you bought or downloaded a piece of software only to find out that "dang, this only runs on MACS, i guess i NEED a mac!"

all i'm saying is that MAC user's are very limited as to what software they can run and what the can do with their machines. Sorry, but if you want to argue that point, you are a complete fool.

Sorry, but you're an ass, and you're wrong.

Every single anti-Mac statement made all over the net since this emulator came out sounds like propoganda from the mid-90's.

Mac users are NOT limited by anything except games. That's it. A few years ago it was real bad, but since the UNIX apps have been ported, there's been an EXPLOSION of Mac software out on the market. You don't seem to understand what a brilliant idea it was for Apple to adopt UNIX, do you?

I'd like to see you pull iDVD, iMovie, and all the other cool Apple apps out of your ass for Windows.

Why are you even here in this thread?

Is networking dead? I saw in the config file that it said something like "Doesn't work on Windows" but I want to be sure.

Networking only works on Linux.

OS X doesn't really stay up long enough to take advantage of it anyway.

It is great that you like a mac so much, but don't act like there are no good applications on Windows. Fine you have iDVD, iMovie and alot of other iStuff, but frankly I am not impressed by much of those apps.

We on Windows also have PowerDVD, Winamp, Picasa, Premiere... etc, etc, etc.

[kwyjibo]

500 times slower......I'll pass.

If you use the JITC version, it is only 40x slower.

[Starman]

I never said there were NO apps for Windows. Duh. Where are the FREE apps that come with Windows that hold a candle to Apple's iApps?

You have PowerDVD. Costs money. We have a built-in DVD player.

You have WinAmp. Why even use it if you have iTunes?

Premiere? You have to pay for that, too.

etc etc etc

As for everything ELSE, we have just as many cool apps now as Windows does. I challenge you to find something different.

But we don't have spyware :D

That's a shame. I was hoping to rung OS X Server with this and actually have it work. I'm sure they'll get it working at some point.

Well, i'm not going to point out the obvious things like there ARE free apps equivalent to those you mentioned bundled free with windows... Media Player (DVD's and Mp3's, CD's etc.) Premiere... well, we have Paint *cough*

..but what is reaaaaally ****ing me off is the fact that Microsoft get taken to court for being a monolopy in the software market by bundling apps.. and Apple can get away with it.

Does that seem right?

One rule for all, thats what I say. And besides I happen to think it's bloody BS in the first place.. it's legitimate business ethics.. Microsoft created their OS.. they have every god given right to put whatever software they own into it... damn str8!!!

Grrr.. now I'm mad! :angry:

Installed Darwin. How do I login to it?

[Starman]

root?

[volrathxp]

Login as root, no password, and then passwd and set a root password once you login.

[kwyjibo]

I use it everytime I visit the Apple Store. No Windows application can match it.

Useless. :sleep:

[jaffa]

so what's the deal here.. darwin DOES work.. but OSX itself is facking slow?

[kwyjibo]

Do not tell me you bought Panther for this.

I know. I'm laughing, too, but it makes me sad. :whistle:

[volrathxp]

seems so... i can't even boot off my 10.2 cd images, i keep getting that DiskArbStart() error, and i've tried a couple things people have mentioned in here (using isobuster, alcohol, etc.)

I've even tried that gemulator explorer and it doesn't pick up my DVD drive. :blink: :blink:

But darwin works perfectly!

[kwyjibo]

apple has ****ed adobe off, now they are opimising photoshop and the rest of their adobe products for the x86 architecture.

It must be difficult to speak using only your anal sphinctor, rather than your mouth.

I know. I'm laughing, too, but it makes me sad. :whistle:

Actually he said he'd ordered a PowerBook and that's why he would get the CDs in a couple of days.
