[OSx86] I Hope Apple stops these OSX86 installs


Recommended Posts

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.

And thousands of people are using pirated versions of Windows XP and Windows Vista, whats your point? :)

The EULA is in place for a reason, to make money.

Actually legally they can't... says so right in their EULA

Repeat after me: License agreements are not laws. Companies do not have the power to enact legislation. :)

Which is why it's so easy to run OS X on generic PCs. Just pop the DVD into the drive and you're all set, updates and everything.

WTF are the rest of us Mac users thinking!! :rolleyes:

God only knows... perhaps you were thinking you were getting something better? Sorry... :rolleyes:

I don't see a problem with OSx86 installs. They don't run nearly as good as an actual mac, hell, apple should support it as a method of test driving os x. I do have a problem with companies trying to sell these machines. But as far as a user running it, hell ya let them. For me it was the nail in the coffin, I used OSx86 on my pc and I loved it, bought a mac a few weeks later.

It's very obvious we have an impasse here, X86ers feel they are doing nothing wrong, Apple users feel they are...

Lets all just all agree that we have a difference of opinion and let this thread die. :p

we need apple genuine advantage ASAP!

And it would only affect pirates, licence users running it on a normal PC would be fine.

Some apple users*

I own and use a mac and i don't care about people running OS X on their PC's, I even want to do it (my PC is better than my Mac)

Being able to run OSX on a PC would be so nice. I like OSX, but I hate Apple hardware. Way too proprietary.

Eh?.

Currently you can install xp using bootcamp and you can update some parts using generic software (that meet some specific requirements), to update hd can be tough but not impossible, to upgrade memory is easy using specific models (with a correct cas), upgrade cpu is also possible.

The opposite is not always possible, in fact osx86 can push the sales of Apple, you can spend many weekends to try to install osx86 in your notebook or you can paid a extra $300 for a macbook.

I hate Apple hardware. Way too proprietary.

Hrm, please explain this one...

Apple:

Intel Processors

Intel Designed Logic Boards

10/100/1000 Ethernet (RJ-45)

802.11 a/b/g/N Wireless

DDR2 Memory

SATA Hard Drives

SATA Optical Drives

USB 2.0

FireWire 400

FireWire 800

Failing to see proprietary here...

OS X sucks it have DRM embed to it kernel

and it call home every 30 sec !

Paranoid much? Here, have a tinfoil hat....

Next time quote a source for ridiculous claims like that.

What?

Can we get a source on that claim?

I am betting heavily that you don't. ;)

If you do, it will be something along the lines of Firefox "calls home" for plugin updates or Windows "calls home" for time synch and WMP music info. Nothing of any privacy concern.

Windows phones home, but you can run it without an internet connection too ;)

Windows comes with activation and WGA. OS X doesn't. The latter phones the mothership for software updates only - if you let it:

    • Linux 7.2's first release candidate gets off to a good start by Paul Hill Credit: Larry Ewing It has been a few weeks since the release of Linux 7.1, and in that time, the Linux 7.2 merge window has been open, where developers can submit their features and patches ready for the upcoming release. That window is now shut, and the release candidate phase has begun so that new features can be tested and further fixes applied. According to the founder of Linux, Linus Torvalds, this week’s release candidate looks “reasonably normal”. Although we are super early in the release candidates, this is a good sign as it makes it more likely that an eighth release candidate will not be needed. Torvalds even mentioned that the update’s stats are only larger than they really are because there was another AMD header drop with a third of the patch just being AMD GPU register definitions, which aren’t big changes but make the code contributed look larger overall. In addition to this, he noted that just over half the patch is drivers, even when excluding the AMD register dump. The rest of the changes are spread out over architecture updates, tooling, documentation, and core kernel updates. In the next week, Torvalds says that he will be chilling out, taking the week “mostly off”. Despite this, he will be reading emails and keeping up with things, so if he is slow responding, now you know why. He said he is hoping for a calm week, but we will just have to see if the second release candidate is actually like that. We should expect seven or eight release candidates before Linux 7.2 is released, so expect it around the end of August. If you missed it a few weeks ago, be sure to check out our coverage of Linux 7.1's release.
    • Ridiculous claim that the labor cost difference of $6000 annually would increase cost per phone by $200. The employees produce 3 phones per month or what?

    • Never used the G7 Pro, but I've never had a good experience with that style of d-pad and fighting games.
    • And I just bought a seat cushion for my mesh chair. The chair feels nice but the first time I sat in it with boxers, I realized I don't like the feel of mesh on my legs. 😂
