Apple Mac OS X 10.4.1 for Intel hits piracy sites


Recommended Posts

i just want to get this straight.. so apple is now making its OS for the intel pcs..?

so in theory one who has a intel pc can install mac os on it

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.

Yeah right! Easily faked with Linux. For all I know thats gdesklets running Starterbar and a customized toolar at the top. Try again.

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.

no it has been confirmed fake. :yes:

    • Too soon, I'm still not over this death!
    • Normally, I admit when a title is clickbait (unfortunately, it's become somewhat necessary in AI-dominated news sections today), but in this case, all supported versions is implied and doesn't need to be spelled out in the title. Of course, I'm covering a Patch Tuesday update but that is only available to supported Windows SKUs. All our coverage relates to supported Windows software and SKUs only unless we expressly state that it's "unsupported", "unofficial", or "third-party". I'm sorry, but supported/official SKUs don't need to be spelled out as such in every Neowin headline.
    • ALL versions or ALL SUPPORTED versions? Neowin does it again.
    • But the reality is it will work for people's needs, and they don't care about the technology that makes it. Clearly not everyone's needs, but that low end space where personal laptops were only used to type emails, watch content and browse websites, but they didn't want to do that on a small screen device. Heck, writing that out I can now see the connection and reason it'll do so well. Apple is about experience. If the experience is bad, they don't release it. Low end Windows laptop manufacturers up until this point have not taken that into consideration ever before, so slow laggy usage with brittle slimey plastic shells were common. I hope that the low end space at least creates better physical products that last a bit longer, and if Microsoft get their act together, they could also have a solid OS on such low end hardware that would actually make the experience work for what the hardware was intended for. The fact that the CPU is a "cellphone", sorry mobile phone processor is irrelevant. It's about the experience, and so far, that sounds quite solid.
