As some of you may already be aware, some intrepid geeko techs are already trying to figure out how to get OSX to run on an ordinary PC, and some ae now speculating on how cheaply a PC could be built to run OSX:
http://www.osx86project.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=27&Itemid=2 This looks like a right laugh to me, having spent over £3000 on a couple of macs for the business this year alone. Does anyone expect that this kind of thing will actually be possible? Is the whole point of Intel/Mac that Apple are positioning themselves for a proper x86 release a little later down the line? I'd love to be able to spec up my own computer systems and build them. It's OSX that I value over and above the hardware - we have a Dual G5 and an iMac G5, very quiet and powerful, but £3000? I whince whenever I have to buy one. I suppose the fact that Apple make the hardware and the OS means that there are stability advantages, but how bad can it be if you built your own system? Not trying to start up a stupid OS debate btw, let's try to avoid that one!
