Would you run Mac OS X on your PC?

[whizler]

There are some rumors that Apple is going to eventually port its Mac OS X onto the x86 platform. It would be cool to have another alternative OS to choose, particularly one as mature as the Mac OS.

Well, since I already run open-bsd on one of my PCs, I'd say yes!

Besides, it won't run on my 7 year old mac!

 

[Noriaki]

Well it's based on BSD Unix, and I've run Linux (Mandrake, Redhat and Slackware) and Solaris x86 on my PC, so why not a little Mac flavoured BSD? Some of the enhancements they've done look pretty cool.

But I think in the end I'd go back to Windows NT.
(edit: Win2000 = WinNT5.0 if you didn't already know that)

I Would give it a chance...

As long as Q3 is ported to it and my hardware is supported why not.

 

[Adul]

hell why not

 

[BigToque]

To mess around with, sure. But Win2k is the OS I use for everything else, and its staying on my system.

 

[CHiMPBizKiT]

I would give Mac OS X a definite look, i'm tired of the same old Windows Interface ... I was extremely disappointed with Windows 2000 and Windows ME => that's why I'm back to running on good ole Win 98.

 

[BDawg]

Yeah, there's already a native port of Q3A. Optimized for SMP and everything! ^_^

 

[whizler]

I'm thinking that by the time they do make the port, Whistler will have come out, in which case Mac OS X better be dual-bootable.

 

[ArkAoss]

yeah definitly their software looks good, its the hardware that im afraid of.

 

[ArkAoss]

whats whistler???

 

[extra]

hmm, i've played with osx, the interface is kinda annoying, but...i duno...
(that was on a g3 though, it ran like a dog)

 

[Rigoletto]

I posted about this a month ago. Who needs a 5Mb virtual machine to run MAC OS? Duh. It's a way of extending apple.

 

[PCAddict]

I'd be interested in playing around with it in a dual-boot or even a triple-boot config.

 

[Bignate603]

i'd say it's worth the harddrive space for a dual boot

 

[IaPuP]

back in 98 when it was still codenamed Rhapsody, it was supposed to be released with FULL Win32 app support AND PowerPC app support and be able to run on BOTH PPC and x86 platforms.

THAT WOULD BE COOL

but alas, probably won't happen.

[Davegod75]

probably not...hardware compatibility and all

 

[Passions]

yeahh!!! let me tell you if you have used macs long enough you will notice some features that are definately better than windows. somethings just behave differntly like when you drag and drop, images are transparent, the collapsable menus are great too. etc etc etc. osx and win98se, dual boot. wow!

 

[Antisocial Virge]

I can do it already

 

[RGN]

lol, yah I would!

 

[Varborta]

Um, why? Isnt MS OS problematic already?
