Dell laptop running Mac OS Tiger

i cant view it, it says i need some plugin for quicktime

looks like qt 7 is required. i think there's a public beta available

I'll believe it when they zoom into "about this mac" and you can actually read what processor it says.

if this is real thats awesome!!

how did they get it to work??? any infos?

Mac OSX for the x86 platform(that means for pc) is out on warez sites...not saying anything more...

Even if you get it to work, it is going to be a bitch finding decent drivers (if they excist) for all your hardware + i have read it is a hoax.

cachorropedorro, cant believe it

If this guy has a snatched copy of the beta's from Apple it is very possible. See Apple has been testing the x86 archetecture for nearly five years now, thus their drivers back then would be for the latest hardware or suspected hardware. Ie. PCI Express which was not yet mainstream and which Apple currently uses would have been the testing bed for their beta program. They would have looked for the most advanced Intel chip and chipset to beta test. Now the P4 is fast, but it would not have been the testing platform. No, Apple would have looked at the PM and Centrino to test. Now we know the drivers would have been configured for these parts, we also know that even if they chose the P4 to beta test, they would have still used the pci express.
The only problem is to wonder whether they would have left the drivers in the kernel as they created Tiger? They must have had the heads up at least three years ago regarding the dual core processors, and IBM certainly would have let them know about the cell processors. We also know that Tiger has been in developement for 1-2 years, so the betas that were produced with that early version of Tiger are probably not very reliable.
I come from the land of Linux, so we are very interested in this development. One reason is that there is a possiblility that hackers could take the x86 drivers from 2.6 kernel and use them if in the minimum as a guide to backwards engineer the necessary BSD/Unix drivers.
For those doubters, you should know in advance that although this may be a permature beta, or even a hoax, that doesn't mean it won't be on the horizon. It will not take long at all before the code engineers figure out a way to break the encryption and develope basic drivers so that it will install on i386 machines. It is just a matter of time. Some of suspect that is exactly what Apple hopes for. It will be the perfect advertising. Tease people with the potential of have this great OS and then convince them that to run it properly you should just fork out the cash and buy a machine.

to the disbelief of many, Apple is going Intel. Yes, old news. So isn't it likely the next gen MacOS will run on x86? I mean, isn't the whole idea of going to Apple to run on x86 chips? The more intriguing question for me is, can I finally use Apple hardware with XP! I want to use their cool looking hardware!

damnit i cant get the vidoe to work

works fine for me, using quicktime 7 that is

A little unsure. It looks real, but can't really see from a distance and the quality is that great either.

Me neither.

you guys NEED THIS to watch it!

QUICKTIME "7"

SEVEN!!!

is in beta for windows

exe,
the desire to have XP run on apple x86 has been confirmed, although I am not sure why you would want to dual boot. The main drive is to find an OS that won't require you to rent it, or have an umbillical cord connected to Redmond. There is no reason for Big Brother Bill to watch my actions. Anyway, it has been confirmed your wish has been granted. Most folks simply want the OS. I use PearPC to use my version of OSX Jaguar, but it would be nice to use it at its native speeds.

Read although im sure its just a matter of time for there to be a hacked version of mac os x for the x86 platform

it could just be a vnc

It can also be, PearPC, as it has been successfully tested. There are many users using Mac OS X Tiger on Windows machines through Pear PC.

i was thinking of doing the same thing, but i haven't found the time to install it on

It's a hoax. Several have downloaded and it's gay pr0n and bundles of text documents.

Haaaaa Haaaaaa.
Ah, hoaxes are such a treat. Don't expect the hackers to be working on it until the intel based OSX has been released. Apple keeps a tight lid on their betas, not like MS who has had their longhorn leaked. It will happen, but not today. Now if you want to run something like OSX how about this alternative. http://forums.xandros.com/viewtopic.php?t=13319
Linux can be made to look like Apple or Windows, or even itself. Broaden your horizons.
