Pentad Posted May 20, 2006 Share Posted May 20, 2006 Well, when I installed OS X on my Gateway Notebook almost a year ago I thought I would never buy a Mac now. However, yesterday I left the Apple store with a brand new MacBook Pro (15", 1 GB of Ram, 2.16 Ghz, 256 MB ATI) so what an effect it has had on me. I'm very happy! -P Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/17900-chalk-another-switcher-up-to-osx86/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

EddieR Posted May 21, 2006 Share Posted May 21, 2006 so many posts like this one, which inturn includes myself as a switcher, I can only wonder if Apple could seriously look at a way to install, possibly a limited version of their MacOSX software on a PC for other's out there to try their OS and also become switcher's, rather than resorting to install a boot-legged copy to see, infact. what a wonderful Operating System Mac OSX is...

John the Geek Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 so many posts like this one, which inturn includes myself as a switcher, I can only wonder if Apple could seriously look at a way to install, possibly a limited version of their MacOSX software on a PC for other's out there to try their OS and also become switcher's, rather than resorting to install a boot-legged copy to see, infact. what a wonderful Operating System Mac OSX is... Similar to a Linux "live CD" version. However, it would be slow as hell so Apple will not do that. The iPod never played FM radio because ultimately they didn't want static coming out of the earbuds... The first impression has to be good. ...but then pressure forced them to make an FM Radio add-on years later... so perhaps an OS X Live CD isn't such a bad idea? =) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/17900-chalk-another-switcher-up-to-osx86/#findComment-117378 Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandmanfvrga Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 They could make it to where you can copy data to a folder on the C drive, then when you boot the CD/DVD it would load from that folder an the CD/DVD. Live discs are that slow. Congrats on the Mac. I am thinking of trying OSx86. I got my old PowerMac, but it is just slow. Buy a Mac? Maybe.
