0 Trek234 Posted May 11, 2004 Share Posted May 11, 2004 The big difference between running Windows on a Mac and OS X on Windows is that the Mac hardware is proprietary. THAT is the problem.Mike Doesn't matter, so the courts have said. You can write whatever code you please as long as the code is not copyrighted by someone else. What hardware it may execute on or emulate is irrelevant. For example, the courts have refused to limit emulation of Sony and Nintendo consoles. Oh, and PC hardware isn't proprietary you say? Really? So if I get my nice new Toshiba DVD writing drive, copy the EXACT same design, and mass produce it there is nothing Toshiba can do? So if I take the Intel Pentium 4 design, and reproduce it exactly the same, there is nothing Intel can do? Damn, guess I'll be banking pretty soon huh? Thanks for letting me know only Apple has proprietary hardware. It's called a patent my friend. You've just destroyed any credibility you may have had.

0 Crunchy Posted May 11, 2004 Share Posted May 11, 2004 hey all thanks for the help so far, I have made it all the way to selecting the drive to install os x on, but no matter what file system I format the 3 gig volume it will not let me install the os. It says "You cannot install Mac OS X on this volume. You cannot start up your computer using this volume". I am using the OS X 10.3 CDs that came with my ibook. Is that the problem? I hope I dont have to buy the retail version. But either way this is pretty cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
