No... but then again that has NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS. We're not talking about emulation we're talking about a Native x86 piece of software running directly on native x86 hardware. Your inability to grasp this is becoming tiring. Your next argument, which infers that this isn't valid because only old, crappy PCs would be used is... well, let's parse the logical fallicies: +) False Dilemma. You argue only two options (Mac OS on emulation or on insufficient hardware) when in fact there's a third option: Mac OS on sufficient hardware. +) False Analogy. You claim that because PCs running Mac OS "can't" match your loaded Mac Book that the PC can't be used to evaluate Mac OS at all. This is absurd. +) Hasty Induction. Knowing the performance of PearPC you apply that performance to all methods of running Mac OS on commodity hardware. This is also known as the "Fallacy of Insufficient Statistics" +) Proof by Example. Because Apple hardware runs Mac OS well is no reason to assume that it CAN'T run well on other hardware (especially when the restriction is a false one such as the TPM Module). +) Argument from Ignorance. Although you've no experience with this yet you claim adamant knowledge of it. There are more, but I'm getting tired.
