OSX on my PC?

[kevin3d]

I'm sure this has been asked and answered 2 billion times...but I couldn't find anything in a search so here goes:

Are there any plans for Mac OSX to support existing intel/amd platforms? For instance, instead going to XP for my AMD duron box, will I be able to buy OSX instead and run OSX apps? If a x86 version of OSX emerges, will apps have to be compiled specifically for it, ala Alpha NT vs Intel NT?

This forum hosts about a million threads on this topic. Yours will add nothing new. Please do a search on this site for "marklar." You will learn everything that you want to know and a lot that you don't.

Thanks, MM. Here is a good article I found:

There aren't any files posted yet, but this might be good to watch for those using x86 boxes.

Probably not. From the project page:

Project UNIX name: winmac
Registered: 2000-09-17 09:08
Activity Percentile (last week): 0%

A 2.5 year old project placeholder that's never posted any files is, IMO, not likely to ever release anything. Even the winmac-dev mailing list sits at zero..

If marklar ever marklars this marklar, Marklar will marklar the marklar's marklars into marklar.

As far as im concerned i see this:

if apple did release OS X on any x86 intel machines then I feel many intel users would purchase it right away such as yourself. I belive Apple and even microsoft knows this as well, thus apple keeping it at a last resort its seems to be a garanteed success. mabey thats what that prototype mother board was we saw floating around some rumor sites, then mysteriously disapeared.

After Microsoft getting there hands on connectix VPC, Apple hopefully has somthing up there sleeves because there is no dought M$ is going to use it for somthing. probably to flood the hell out of the OS market. But then again M$ knows or thinks that Apple wont tred on there toes...

Enough already. *Sigh...* Moving the thread to 'Opinions'.
