XP on MACS...

Miscellaneous Forums/General Discussion/XP on MACS...

From Apple's point of view this is a great marketing tool, since it can be used to hlep a lot of windows people who are currently 'on the fence' make the switch to the mac.

Personally I'd be much more interested in running OSX on a generic PC than pay the premium for having an Apple logo slapped on a 'pretty' PC.

I'd rather spend less by buying generic hardware, or the same on extra power instead of a pretty case.

The main hurdle in having OSX run natively on a normal PC is probably that they don't use BIOS to boot, but some 'next generation' system called EFI... But I'd think that there's a good chance for a virtualization layer such as VMWare or VirtualPC to run OSX in the near future... there's already been VMWare hacks out for the original x86 developer release of OSX, after all.
