alvin777 Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 Hi. Is there another name for the hackintosh? Something that doesn't have anything that sounds negative about it (unlike the word "hack"). I'm asking because hack could scare off some people who'd like to try it as soon as they hear the word 'hack' (supposing you'd like to swap it with someone with a real Mac for example). Thanks in advance. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/68700-is-there-another-name-besides-hackintosh/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocPhotoshop Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 Don't know about another name... Perhaps suggestions would be good, just to see what people come up with!

bibendum Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 Well, I call my quad hackintosh a Quackintosh... Seriously - if they're scared, they should just buy a Mac. Hackintoshes are no place for scaredy cats...

BebopBlues Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 It's officially OSx86. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/68700-is-there-another-name-besides-hackintosh/#findComment-488481 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danyel Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 Personally, I like call them OSx86 PC's (generic PC's that are running Mac OS X). I don't care for the phrase "Hackintosh" although it is somewhat descriptive (it often takes some 'hacking' to get stuff to work). Specifically, I refer to my computer at home as OSx86 mPC --danyel Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/68700-is-there-another-name-besides-hackintosh/#findComment-488999 Share on other sites More sharing options...

frizbot Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 An OSX86 box. It's still a PC, only running a different OS. "Hackintosh" is too 90's.
