People that are installing OSX on unsupported platforms are going to have alot of issues, then turn around and blame the OS

i can see alot of " OSX sux because it keeps crashing on my AMD64 w/512 DDR "

only saying this because there are already what 3 or 4 threads of people not beign able to get stuff installed properly or askign how to work the OSX86 project ( even though there are probably tutorials on the site

yes im fully aware of that thread and still won't condone to individuals who seek to force OSX to work on non-Apple Hardware.

get a bloody mac or stay away from OSX, the EULA is set in place for specific reasons.

Yeah, I have to agree here, but I can see why Neowin would permit this discussion. I don't know if I'm the only one, but all this OSx86 discussion is really making me want to save up my money for a Mac :laugh:

So you mean people will realize why Macs "just work" and why Windows Vista is "the devil" - that Apple completely controls the hardware that it allows its OS to run on?

Don't see the problem.

I don't know why you people are crying about other people running hackintosh. Maybe the PC people should cry that you can run Windows on your Mac.

As always a one sided argument. Then again look at your history as Mac OS was based off of FreeBSD which is X86 Apple designed the GUI and modified an open source OS to get its product so stop the ignorance and I don't even run a hackintosh.

If people want to install osx on thier pcs... why not... I think its interesting! Certainly poses a challenge and teaches you a lot along the way.

Don't think people with macs should whine about it. Let people use it... if they like the OS enough they'll move to apple.. theres only so many patches and stuff u can run before you get fed up and just move onto the real thing.

I've used osx86 before and now i'm using a macbook (no way or form am I a switcher or a mac head eww)... I think it only helps apple...!

That's true. OSx86 is by no means usable on a permanent basis, and it is perhaps fair to say that it has and will encourage people to buy the genuine article.

that wouldnt do anything, its not OSX beign pirated, how its done is the OSX86 emulates EFI ( my understanding ) and fools OSX into thinking the installed hardware is a legit Mac

I suggest a much more drastic measure - take the TPM chip that is being used in every Mac into good use - when a pirated copy is detected, format all the drives.

**** the pirates.

Then simply move into the Windows style online activation - since every Mac has a distinct serial number making a database should be a trivial task. then the little pirates could no longer hide behind the "EULA" as they would be forced to reverse engineer and patch the activation system.

I find it humorous how people come and tell me "Yeah I run hackintosh i bought leopard yayayaya" only to see them brag on another thread how they warezed it from Mininova or Piratebay. Yeah I bet you guys all bought it. I believe that, completely. I bet you also have 5 macbook pros and a few mac pros at your desk, you're just running hackintosh "for fun".
