Silvorgold Posted January 8, 2002 Share Posted January 8, 2002 actually i tried that about a few dozen times, first tried dling Corel Linux and i was NEAR 50% when it stopped dling :disappoin and then i tried dling mandrake a few times, n no luck there, and i do have 28.8 internet btw so it'dd take yearssss basically, so i gave up n bought a copy of Mandrake for $30 CDN (around $20 US), n back then i didnt know anyone who owned linux so no luck there, n it was mid 2000 btw, so that was basically my only choice, n since no cable providers are out here :( oh well, just cant wait to get out of here in a year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3nd3r Posted January 8, 2002 Share Posted January 8, 2002 There is no way that they are going to release their OS for PC's unless they find a way to keep the speed up. I dont have an Idea how this Operating system is actually going to work in an PC unless they use some type of EMU for the bios or maybe completly rewrite the code?????

Qarth Posted January 8, 2002 Share Posted January 8, 2002 Well before you go jumping to conclusions while freeding off your own angered energy they announced on TechTV two nights ago that OSX would be released on X86 architecture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, judging from macworld it obviously isn't... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djpharm Posted January 8, 2002 Share Posted January 8, 2002 They didn't announce it on TechTV...that was an ad for the Macworld keynote address. They were just listing the various rumors that were floating around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silvorgold Posted January 9, 2002 Share Posted January 9, 2002 u know it probably would take Apple years to be able to do that with the amount of coders they have, while M$ could whip up an OS within a few months (excluding the user testing and changes to the coding), and u know that they'dd have to test them on several X86 machines too, or get a registration plan like the xp one to get beta testers to try it out.

eangulus Posted January 9, 2002 Share Posted January 9, 2002 I don't know much about the background of OSX but can I get some things cleared up if someone knows. 1. Why is it you can download the Darwin backend for x86 platforms from the mac site yet so many people are syaing it will never be done? 2. If speed is a problem then why is it that from my understanding MacOS is built on a unix or linux background that you can't port to the PC as Linux and Unix runs great on x86... If someone knows please help clear my mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
