I think what he is saying is people have always been saying that there is going to be a virus written for OS X but one has never been made.Airforce said:Are you agreeing?

Your a windows user arent you?
osx is on a few pc boxes - but only the crapiest developers version. wether the true osx gets on to pc boxes remains to be seen

Oh yea, I'm sure it's only a handful of folks out there. It is of no interest to anyone other than techies I'm sure. I like the OS, so that was motivation enough for me. It is the full version though...no crappy about it.
I'm a dual user
so are you sayoing you have cracked a full version of osx? 10.4.4
or the developer version - which is crap and easy to crack?
eitherway what your doing is illegal.

current Intel version is 10.4.4 for the new MacTels
Last version was 10.4.3 for Developer Kit Only..
I am running OSX 10.4.3 on a nForce 3, Athlon 64 3500+ computer with 1 gig ram. I have the latest itunes/quicktime unibins, VLC unibin, adium unibin. I do not notice anything different. Rosetta works fine, much faster in emulation than Office runs on my G4.

Boards like that based on 915 and 945 chipsets are already purchasable in your local store. Put in a 3.2ghz Pentium D, and it's ready to go.

i think that that's more about the fact that there are very, very few mac users who would actually want to write viruses; we're only 5% (newsweek's interview with sj), and almost all of us don't want our macs to be disabled.
they could specify somewhere in the soft/firmware that the os that'll be available in stores will only run on certain configurations. besides, there isn't a reason for them to sell the x86 verson of the os until 10.5, since all new intel macs will ship with it, and they wouldn't want anybody to be using it on anything but the new intel macs.
what are you guys talking about? It won't be hard to install OSX on an x86 platform. It'll be like installing windows on a PC! Same basic idea, same basic type of install, same damn platform. It won't be hard to install OSX on a PC.
What is it with people who think they know everything and dont really know anything at all
5% sounds small doesnt it - except when you count the 70% us educational market and the 80% creative pro market. and that there are multi millions of mac users.
