Is Apple promoting piracy ?

I guess I could get a job at dell :o

I don’t think their offices/workshops are as nice as that Glass, Apple store you posted some time ago.

No Dell retail outlets everything is bought direct Telephone/Internet and either return to base or Home support options ;D

I’m not trying to put you or any one else out of business.
I’m trying to increase Apple’s business. :slight_smile:

I thought that Apple’s motto is: THINK DIFFERENT !

Well, I strongly believe this is the right time to think different.

And Kyle… why are you worried so much dude ? Such a good technician as yourself will never ever stay without a job. Selling OSX to PC users doesn’t mean Apple is going down, it just means, Apple’s market will even grow. Many Apple users will never ever switch to PC no matter what happens, but this would help a lot of people to check some other possibilities out there. I am sure this would just help Apple make even more money.

I believe that all this OSX to PC story is already so deep that’s practically impossible to stop it at this point. It even runs faster on PCs than on Apple architecture. Take a look at this:

And who said just Intel is capable of running OSX ? Well, he is wrong:

sasha, I have no idea how OSX runs faster on PCs

intel Mac components:

Motherboard - Intel
Chipset - Intel
Processor - Intel
RAM - Samsung/Micron/hynnix
HD- Segate/Maxtor
Optical drive- Pioneer

Have no clue Kyle, but it’s been reported many times. And there are few good videos on YouTube showing the same. I also compared my OSX86 installation with my friends who brought his PowerBook. It really boots quite faster than on his machine. I am talking about my Intel Pentium 4 HyperThreading Technology Laptop. Haven’t tried anything with my desktop which is AMD Athlon XP 3000+

EDIT: Kyle do not think that we are trying to put Apple down with these comments… we are just trying to get freedom of choice. I personally would really like to see OSX for PC machines. That would allow many people to finally decide which way to go…

PowerBook = PowerPC processor Compare it to an intel machine

Hi Kyle!

Have no clue because I don’t know anyone around that have MacBook or MacBook Pro, so I can not test them the way I would like to. All I know for now is that OSX runs perfectly smooth on my machine and it is unbelievable fast. Even all those bells and whistles (animated effects etc.). It also boots very fast. I’m just thinking, if you can get all those effects running at even higher speeds than I am able to get them here on my machine, how would that look like… like a fast forwarded movie or something. Not much gain…

it boots much faster and performs much better on intel than on PowerPC so I would say an intel mac would be close to your PC’s speed or better (it should be with the Core Duo)
