HP Apple Partnership

[mi5moav]

Quite Possibly we may see an HP manufactured Apple tweaked pc in the near future. Just like high end car manufacturers within the last few years that wanted to target a larger audience. Apple may rebrand one or more HP manufactured computers. Not sure what the operating system may be on the box.

Also, the possibility of Apple shipping powerpc boxes without os x is becoming even more of a possibility may have BSD only or possibly linux with a licensed Aqua gui, Apple may also be licensing aqua for other purposes. So this way the world can have aqua anywhere even on a toaster for 25 cents.

Nice "rumors"! Any links? Or you are simply fishing around?

If you could post some links i would love it, if not...err..ok. Don’t ever see the first paragraph happening, but the second is possible be it extremely slim, Maybe for Uni's, government or big corporations. You can be sure they would never offer it to the general public.

an apple tweaked PC. about as much of an oxymoron as politically correct.

If you will look closely, HP is outsourcing more of its own manufacturing.

I could see HP reselling higher-end graphics/video/audio workstations created by Apple before Apple reselling HP's products.
