I don't understand it, for years apple and his hord of fanboy have been demonizing windows platform telling the world how much they suck, while running their OS on the most locked system ever.
Now they have the occasion to show how stable is their OS on an open system and that pisses them off,
come on apple don't be so pissed, because its only the beginningyou seriously can't beat that price

woah!!
Osx is the reason (well, vista IS the reason) why I'd go Mac.Do they work well?
Have you got any link to any test?

So far they are walking the thin line of legality and are being sued by apple. I hope they win.
I don't get why apple doesn't make OSX open, so we could compare which os is the best and stop this stupid mac vs pc battle

actually you can beat that price... build it yourself!

this has been discussed here already. although it seems like a good deal, i'm not sure if any were actually shipped. also, if you buy one, you lock yourself in that version of the OSX without the ability to update/upgrade.

Have seen a bunch of guys are installing OSX on dell minis without problems.

like acescence said, you don't need a Psystar to get OS X running on a "PC", you can build your own.
I switched from PC to Mac some years ago, and I prefer to buy Apple hardware.

it's fun to hack around, but at the end of the day they're not totally viable systems unless you really want to put some time into them. OS updates are generally a colossal pain in the ass, and will always require some sort of trickery to massage them into place

all I wanted to say with this thread is that it pisses me off when apple user compares a mac (close system) with a windows system.
I don't believe osx would be that stable if it was installed on a trillion different configurations.- True, but if you get the hardware right, it works without a hitchsection_014

just another question,
why doesn't apple makes is OS open? and give the right to user to chose if they want to buy an apple machine or a clone?

yeah the reaon i'm on a pc is cos I can't bloody afford a mac if it's just for personal use. My laptop was £880. I couldn't build an as-powerful macbook pro, and the closest I could come cost £2300!!! For that kinda price difference, feck the operating system.. even on vista mine kicks the crap out of a £880 macbook.
But NOW.... things are starting to get interesting.

I love Macs, but yes, they are more expensive. PCs have more issues, but it also depends on how you take care of the machine. The user has to determine what aspect of a computer is more important to them, because both systems are just tools.

I love my homemade hackintosh, but I got if from a geek more geeky than I who was upgrading, so I didn't have to do all the compatibility legwork...

the mac "experience" is possible largely because they have such tight control over the hardware.

Apple shouldn't change their policy, it's working for them and for us users. Had they allowed to install the OS anywhere it would lose dramatically in sales and eventually users would lose to when there would be no Apple.

oh and apple is a hardware company... they don't make money of boxed versions of OS X they make money selling computers. Pretty fucking obvious
