XanthraX Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 Does anyone feel that 10.6 might mean the end of hackintosh community? I know it sounds stupid but never know I guess right?

royco Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 Maybe, but in another wayhttp://news.softpedia.com/news/Big-Time-Ru...ght-87443.shtml? Probably not as Apple is always stressing that only one company makes the software and hardware as the reason why macs work smoothly. Im predicting an Atom based touch pad/tablet to compete with the bunch of cheap atom based mini notebooks. Imagine a 7 to 10 inch tablet, thinner than the macbook air!

celtikmind Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 If that really happen, Windows will suffer dramatically in market share. Now... that... would be fun! A real hot torch under Redmond's behinds to do something proper. Evolution through competition and legal freedom of choice for a user? It would be antibiotics for the pc and champagne for the users!

codylcran Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 Opening Os X could bring a lot of consequences, not only for MS ,but Apple. A lot of drivers need to be written and so on ( amd support ) . Would be a hard work for everyone and mac won't be so optimized anymore. If these things are true , we would be very happy. ( and MS would have a competitor already ) . But it can't be, the world is not as easy like this. By the way... How many hours left ?

Mebster Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 Talking about 10.6 so early into 10.5 would be a really bad idea. It could persuade people from waiting. This is exactly what's happening with Windows 7 so apple should have learned from this.

theDeveloper Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 I am not setting my hopes too high about OSX coming to PC's, but it seems like the right moment to do so, if at all. Kick Vista while it's down They can always announce official support only for a subset of existing PC hardware, the most popular ones. I mean, OSX86 guys are pretty good at it, and these are full time dedicated developers at Apple we're talking here. So I think they can pull it off.

mocap Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 Of course it can't be that OS X will accept all hardware all of sudden. I think Apple will do a light start and only support few PC Hardware. I'm sure they would not do AMD compatible, only-Intel would do the thing easier plus Apple would get trouble with Intel ( I think there are contracts) if they would release for AMD too. (Since Intel is Cooperating with Intel so flawlessly) It really can't be made that they bring out every driver for each hardware at release. PLUS! Apples concept was to make Hardware for software and not vice versa like in windows. Of course releasing OS X for PCs would confilct this enormously BUT Apple could select certain good Hardware among PC Hardware and make the OS only accept those Hardware. thats what I think EDIT: if people are surprised of me not handling OSX for PC as a rumor, but a possible move of Apple. Here is the reason and its quite simple: Announcing 10.6 so soon although 10.5 works like a charm IS VERY SUSPICIOUS (+ the fact for dropping PPC) 2nd is NOT CHANGING THE OS NAME COMPLETELY Leopard -> Snow Leopard acts like Apple wants to release same Leopard with only a decisive Addition. So this would be another version of Leopard not a whole new version of OS X regards iHack Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/109475-wwdc-2008-rumor-roundup/page/2/#findComment-776824 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Konami® Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 I think the only possibility for OS X in the PC is probably having a contract with Psystar, the only PC maker currently offering OS X.

If you read up on that company it is already a large rumour that Apple in fact owns that company. Just do a little digging and you'll see for yourself.

archer75 Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 Is the free update for 10.5 users actually true or is it just a rumour or wish you had? A wish. Seeing as it's mostly a bug fixing, performancing improving OS it should be provided as patches really. So if they are going to make an OS version with little in the way of new features it should be free. From what I understand OSX 10.1 was a free update for 10.0 owners.
