Lew, you asserted that the Apple "policy is incredibly vague" which I refuted. You then changed to "you can purchase the intel version of Mac OS X 10.4" which I also refuted. You have now change to this elaborate explaination of how it might be acquired -- but still not purchased.
I can answer the G3 support question. yes llepherd will support G3 systems with USB support.
Source or, better, citation please? This is contrary to what the rumor sites report.
in fact lets clarify this as well. I'm here in the UK and can obtain a legal copy
IANAL but the process you describe is non-trivial and while the disc may be pressed by Apple, I am dubious of the legitmacy. But wish anyone so inclined to try the best of luck.
through apple UK through contacting their tech department. you can do the same and believe me you can.
Care to provide a name and phone number? I will be especially curious to ask what they think of you doing this, let alone boasting about it on a public web site.
though it is said that apple hardware is the only interface it will license to. as long as it is an intel or core substitute then the OS will work.
I am referring to the license as granted by Apple, not if it actually installs or not.
I only run mac on a windows platform as I'm not at present willing to move to a full mac and waste finances when the operating systems concerned need a lot of support and development for specific products like Apple's Logic Pro, DigiDesign Pro-Tools and Microsoft Office, etc. so see my point?
I find your rationalization for pirating to be unconvincing. Twenty years ago, I used to "collect" software for no particular reason, so I actually empathize with the compulsion.
no matter what someone says I always want to see pure proof before I invest. its good business sense lol
Your experience with OS X on a hacked box is not representative of the actual real experience running on supported hardware. At best, the technique you describe can be used to convience oneself that OS X is not all it is cracked up to be.
