For the last five years ever since the first Mac OS X, Apple has been making an Intel version and PPC version. When the Intel version offically starts shipping you won't be able to install it on any PC, only on Apple specific hardware.

warz and stuff aside, what do we think is this thing real or not, I dont think it is, and i think when apple heres of this it means when apple does develop this for the intell processors they will build something into the software to prevent non apple hardware using os x.

That screeny is definately fake. It even says PowerPC in the processor info of the about box. Jeez. :no:

That's tells you nothing, here's another screenshot (Keynote 2005):

What we need is actual solid evidence...which might take a while longer.

Now that screeny is real. :laugh:

I don't understand how anyone could post a screenshot, even if it were real considering they wouldn't be able to get it running due to no driver support. You could MAYBE get an installer screenshot, but that's as far as it will go.

Yes, it's really easy to be faked... but in that screen is a P4 2,4Ghz with 768 Mb of ram...(not the P4 3,6 with 2GB that Steve used in the Keynote) i thinked that can be true... but...can be a fake

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.

If its based on FreeBSD then it should be easy. Correct?

oh yeah? im sure like windows and linux you do not need drivers to get it to install and boot up. :laugh: sure you wont have sound or 3d graphics or... much of anything else but i bet osx will boot up no less.

There's still no evidence of this being real or fake, so I don't know what to think.

    • Microsoft confirms Windows 11 26H2 to finally get one of the most requested features by Sayan Sen This past week Microsoft officially confirmed Windows 11 version 26H2 with the latest build, 26300.8697, for testing in the experimental Insider channel. The company also published more details about it mainly directed towards IT admins and system admins. Essentially version 26H2 will be delivered via an enablement package (eKB) over Windows 11 25H2. If you are wondering about some of the upcoming features in the next Windows version, one of them is certainly very interesting as Microsoft has confirmed it is finally bringing one of the most overwhelmingly requested features ever. March Rogers, the Partner Director of Design at Microsoft, recently highlighted some of the Search improvements that the company is testing, and during the interaction with users on X where he posted it, Rogers also confirmed that the company is working on disabling web search results inside Search. This is something which many users find quite annoying as Windows would often serve them links to Bing which it feels could be more helpful rather than bringing up the actual object or app the user may be searching for on their PC. Finally though the company is prioritizing local file search over the web. However the feature could not be disabled for many users as not all new features are immediately rolled out to everyone. Image via phantomofearth (X) Windows enthusiast phantomofearth who likes to dig deep into new builds uncovered the IDs you will need to enable these features. Using the following feature IDs the new Search-related features landing in Windows 11 26H2 can be used. Follow the steps below to enable the new Search experience on Windows 11 build 26300.8697: Download ViveTool from GitHub and unpack the files in a convenient and easy-to-find folder. Press Win + X and select Terminal (Admin). Switch Windows Terminal to the Command Prompt profile with the Ctrl + Shift + 2 shortcut or by clicking the arrow-down button at the top of the window. Navigate to the folder containing the ViveTool files with the CD command. For example, if you have placed ViveTool in C:\Vive, type CD C:\Vive. Type vivetool /enable /id: and press Enter. Restart your computer. If you change your mind and want to restore, repeat the steps above and replace /enable with /disable in the commands on steps 5 and 6. Delightedly and perhaps also expectedly, once you disable web search and other such bloat, the Windows 11 Search is said to get snappier as remarked by another Windows enthusiast Xeno.
