Apple Mac OS X 10.4.1 for Intel hits piracy sites

[Jellman]

they did a good job on the nfo if its fake, mind you they could have just of used a previous relese's nfo as a template.

[Malisk]

This seems like fake yes. Anyone can fake an .nfo file.

It's been discussed on Slashdot and noone has seen it on either BT, IRC, or Usenet, and the latter two are usually the first stuff like this appear on.

Unless the guy the article writer was told from is some sort of "0 day l337 h4x0r" it doesn't seem like true, and even if he was, it's strange that it hasn't been seen yet.

I know several including myself see it on bt. it may or may not be authentic tho. but ill see for myself soon enough :ninja:

[Porsche Design]

it probably is fake

despite of that, the downloads are slow and there is only one person seeding

no need to waste your time

[revvo]

I still say that this is fake no matter how many people try to say otherwise.

I checked every major protocol. Usenet, edonkey, private bt trackers. It's nowhere.

Even if it wasn't faked, the thing would be too damn buggy, debugging every single crash/error, having a possible expiration date, some sort of code/signature that would keep Apple aware of their development copies that they have given to every single company to develop their software and so on.

And in the end, what do you get? To use something that will only work (when finished) on Apple hardware.

maybe this "leak" is just apples way of seeing how well intel based OSX is going to go over.

their dirty little market research program :D

That doesnt makes sense at all, whats up with people today ? :pinch:

[Jellman]

you people whom are saying its fake and the files are just dumps can you post screenys?

[thechitowncubs]

I haven't been this confused in my whole life.

I'll come back later when the storms clear. :)

even if its fake i was able to find it and if at least 5 people can find something one can always look harder. ;)

[emel]

Just saw the .nfo somewhere in the usenet.. I will just wait till its uploaded.. then test it myself.. maybe someone will prove if its fake or not before I can even download this..

edit: well from what I hear its indeed fake.. tiger-x86--blah blah. the whole files is a dummy with GNAAGNAAGNAA..:p

[ElementWRX]

The 956MB torrent, it has been confirmed by multiple places is just GNAA repeated over and over if you open the RARs in Notepad. It's a fake - sorry.

I'd wait to see in two weeks when the dev boxes arrive though. I wouldn't be suprised if an entire community springs up with 3rd party drivers for everything to get Mac OS X running on any x86 box...and then the lawsuits will ensue!

[Toxicfume Veteran]

It's all fake and over. Time to go back to bed.

Prove it. That's all I got to say. Provide a screenshot that we cannot possibly say that it was photoshopped/edited.

Only then will your argument make any sense. It's fake, the users at slashdot say its fake and probably the ppl in mac communities say the same.

There is no concrete proof out there to say that it is leaked. If it was, most probably a lot of people would be downloading it on major networks but that's not the case.

We're not blind. we are all aware of the resources around us and most of these ressources can be easily accessed.

[kingpunk]

Thats because the AMD64 distro is 64bit code, whereas the intel one is most likely 32bit, when 64Bit intel chips become more mainstream, expect to see one 64bit distro.

actually, AMD was just the 1st to hit the market with 64bit cpus, (x86 compatable anyways), so, thats why its aptly named "AMD64" but if you throw an AMD64 distro on say a xeon with EM64T, it'll work exactly the same. there is truely no diffrence when its all said and done.

I think a user who commented on the front page made a good argument. Even if this was leaked - you'll need to come up with drivers to support your hardware. UNLESS you have the same hardware configs used in the dev builds.

[xortex]

its a group of people called GNAA, they are kids that like to spread fake stuff on the net to see how fast it will get somewhere, go check them out on irc .. irc.gnaa.us #gnaa

[Porsche Design]

now the question is why would they do that/whats the reason behind it

is it apple? or just some guy

[Jellman]

SCREEEYS???!!!! Please prove and save me my bandwith

You can just check it yourself...open up a partially downloaded file in a hex editor and see for yourself.
