I'd say a mac is a piece of hardware created by apple running a Mac OS, which is what these machines will remain.

Steve Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 LOL that is funny, we get to use Windows with GOOD performance on Mac's, as well as Mac OS X. Sounds perfect to me. Props to Apple, I don't care what harware is in my box, as long as it performs and allows me to run Mac OS X.

+ir0nw0lf Subscriber² Posted June 6, 2005 Subscriber² Share Posted June 6, 2005 10:25 am Apple is going to Intel chips officially. "We've been through many transistions. 680x0 to PowerPC, Mac OS 9 to Mac OS X. Today we begin a third transition. It's true; We are switching to Intel." 10:25:20 am: John C Dvorak runs outside, throws his hands into the air and proclaims, "I told you all so years ago!" 10:25:30 am:His ego gets so big his head explodes into a million chunks. :devil: Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/328955-official-wwdc-2005-keynote-discussion/page/13/#findComment-586025653 Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackwanders Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 allow me to dream a bit:- Apple locks down OS X to certain chipsets/machines it builds. - I'd buy one of those, if they won't stick a knife in me. - Microsoft, seeing the popularity of those machines, makes drivers to support the custom hardware (mobo/video card, etc) - This allows people to buy Apple machines, use OS X AND still buy Windows and use Windows on the same machine. - Apple gains a lot... Microsoft doesn't gain that much, but then again, doesn't lose that much. I think it's a shallow view, but kind of a Win/Win situation. (no pun intented) 586025548[/snapback] As of right now, that's what the case appears to be. OSX will only run on Macs, but being that the Macs will use an x86 Intel chip, you can also install Windows, assuming there are Windows drivers for the hardware used in the Mac. I'd buy an Intel-Mac in a heartbeat if I can run OSX and Windows on it w/o emulation. Think about it. Windows for gaming, OSX for productivity.

Daybreak Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 Quite frankly, I'd be worried about Apple in the mean time though. Sales of existing Apple products will surely be cannibalised before the new x86-line is introduced, the only question is by how much and if Apple can weather it. About the issue of Apple locking down Mac OS X to certain sets of hardware, I'd suspect the major difference would primarily be the use of OpenBIOS or the like, which could be eventually worked around. Certainly, with the software written for x86, you could virtualise it with minimal speed loss (e.g. VMWare).

raid517 Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 So how would that work I wonder? I mean does the Mac bootloader actually 'see other OS's installed? My guess is you would probably have to install Winndows first, then maybe linux, the OS X... But like I said can the OS X bootloader handle multiple OS'?

darthfader Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 ok lets discuss about the dev kit P4, and P4 Tiger. now it is more possible that the P4 Tiger leaks - what are the possibilities to get on the regular PC? I?m sure many would start trying hardware hacks to get it work. And if it would be possible to get Tiger work on regular PC - what would happen to Windows? :alien:: Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/328955-official-wwdc-2005-keynote-discussion/page/13/#findComment-586025817 Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamend Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 I don't think some of you realize how easily it will be to get Mac OS X running on a normal PC. Yeah, Intel Macs will probably use OpenFirmware, but Apple is currently and will probably continue to maintain Darwin for normal x86. It should be pretty easy to get the rest of OS X running on top of a Darwin base that already works fine on normal PCs. Even if Apple stops maintaining a PC version of Darwin, it's open source so anyone could do the porting. Of course I'm assuming that Darwin + the rest of Mac OS X and normal Mac OS X are binary compatible on the same platform. Edit: mmmm, sorry i meant pentium M celeron 586025422[/snapback] No, that's not it either. The budget version of the Pentium M is called the Celeron M.

It's still a MacintoshWho buys a Mac for the hardware anyway? 586025836[/snapback] well the people spending close to $2000 on a powemac or powerbook certianly are considering more then just the os:laugh:gh: honestly unless your rich your not going to consider just the os and not care abouyt the hardware. also it is NOT a mac. its a pc with a mac case mac has officialy died today. half of the mac fandom was about being different which from this point on is never going to be. Its really just a "ibm-compatable" (as the term goes) pc with a apple computer co. case, and an apple os, with the inability to run normal x86 dos-pc software. also to the guy who said theres a lot of mac fans talking about trashing their ibooks i would be p**ed too if i owned a mac now your support is slowly going to go down the toilet as apple concentrates on the newer machines.
