- Microsoft, for inflicting such a bloated software on most PCs in recent history;

- IBM, burdened by the proof of the lower grade CPUs they have been promoting;

- (and eventually Apple for selling during 2 years the G5 as "the best processor on the planet"... or something like that)



I honestly don't know if OSX will be cracked and on every PC on the planet in 6 months time, but it's by far the best experience i've had, so if it's a way to convince more people, so be it... I could not care less about the CPU... put an AMD if you must.]]>Jan 16th 2006 12:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/16/video-os-x-10-4-3-dual-booted-on-a-thinkpad/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/16/video-os-x-10-4-3-dual-booted-on-a-thinkpad/

prepare for failure apple they think theyll get more of us with there intel machines and os's but im an athlon man and where just going to bootleg thier operating systems



oh and i dont have os x installed on my athlon 64 3200

its on my 2.2ghz cely with a gig of ram]]>Jan 16th 2006 2:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/16/video-os-x-10-4-3-dual-booted-on-a-thinkpad/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/16/video-os-x-10-4-3-dual-booted-on-a-thinkpad/Jan 16th 2006 2:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/16/video-os-x-10-4-3-dual-booted-on-a-thinkpad/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/16/video-os-x-10-4-3-dual-booted-on-a-thinkpad/


I don't think it looks especially fast, by the way. Just regular speed for a laptop.]]>Jan 16th 2006 2:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/16/video-os-x-10-4-3-dual-booted-on-a-thinkpad/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/16/video-os-x-10-4-3-dual-booted-on-a-thinkpad/


i got OSX 10.4.3 running on my Fujitsu T70M,

guess i got the smallest Mac.alike around, just 10'6...

(could make the upgrade to 10.4.4 if i wanted to)



and as it comes with an integrated intel graphic card, i managed to get full 1280 resolution AND Quartz Extreme active...just a few files to tweak some weeks ago.



no wireless without a USBdongle but well, other than that evrything is functionnal, and it does get pretty fast...only on a Pentium M 753ULV but with a gig of RAM.



it boots just as fast as the XP, and the mac side just needs some more software optimisation on the few apps still asking to much (garage band works like a charm but adding some real time special effects is just too much for now, just to many layers of emulation for these Mac binaries...)



you all, just grab the iso and an empty partition and give it a try, for your science, it really is worth it and the first boot is just thrilling to witness, that little on-screen apple next to your Windows and Intel stickers...

Giving in to the x86 platform is better without looking stupid. Sheer marketing swing brilliance.]]>Jan 16th 2006 4:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/16/video-os-x-10-4-3-dual-booted-on-a-thinkpad/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/16/video-os-x-10-4-3-dual-booted-on-a-thinkpad/


Runs very nicely so far. I just did it for proof-of-concept, however. The only version of MacOS that this actually works with is the MacIntel 10.4.3 developer version. The 10.4.4 dev version only supports EFI, not PC Bios, so no updates or anything. Doesn't matter to me, I just did it to see if it would work. My res. is at 1024x768, but I haven't tried to play with it. I plan to only run the pc in 1024x768 mode as I am running it through an 8" LCD touchscreen that doesn't support any resolutions higher than that and still look good.



The Darwine project is currently working on WINE for the x86 version of MacOS. If that can work well, then there is no need to dual-boot. MacOSx86 running WINE will run windows apps w/o having to install Windows and partition the HDD, etc.



BTW, if you are planning on doing this dual-boot yourself, I would highly reccomend the Acronis Disk Director Suite. Single license is $50, and it does a lot (think Partition Magic on steriods I guess), but it's "OS Selector" app is VERY sweet. Much more elegant than Grub, a hell of a lot easier to setup & use than grub as well. Of course, it's not free... and you need to have windows as one of your bootable partitions (though you can install it on a bootable Win FW HDD, and run OS Selector on that and it will still automatically install and configure the boot manager for you so you have it even when the Windows FW HDD is gone). No, I don't work for them, I just borrowed a copy from a coworker for this project and I really like it. If I get a MacBook and I decide to dual-boot, then I'll grab a copy for myself.]]>Jan 16th 2006 4:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/16/video-os-x-10-4-3-dual-booted-on-a-thinkpad/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/16/video-os-x-10-4-3-dual-booted-on-a-thinkpad/Jan 16th 2006 5:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/16/video-os-x-10-4-3-dual-booted-on-a-thinkpad/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/16/video-os-x-10-4-3-dual-booted-on-a-thinkpad/Jan 16th 2006 5:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/16/video-os-x-10-4-3-dual-booted-on-a-thinkpad/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/16/video-os-x-10-4-3-dual-booted-on-a-thinkpad/

It boots really fast, will run Office & photoshop with Rosetta emulation (after running some patches) but no core image or Quartz Extreme.



BTW, for some reason I get kernel panics frequently. Does anyone running Tiger on their ThinkPad have this problem?

There are some missing features - the built-in SD/MMC/MS card reader, PC-Card slot, 56k modem, and FireWire port are not working (yet), and sleep is not supported (yet).



But everything else is working fine, including audio, video (with Quartz Extreme), USB 2.0, wired Ethernet, AirPort (after I replaced the Intel MiniPCI wireless card with a Broadcom one), Bluetooth (which I hacked myself - see http://hackaday.com/entry/1234000727064588/ ), CD burning, and DVD playback!



Unfortunately, I didn't document the process, but I gathered most of the information from http://www.osx86project.org - I did upgrade the memory from 512 MB to 1GB as well.]]>Jan 16th 2006 8:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/16/video-os-x-10-4-3-dual-booted-on-a-thinkpad/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/16/video-os-x-10-4-3-dual-booted-on-a-thinkpad/Jan 16th 2006 9:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/16/video-os-x-10-4-3-dual-booted-on-a-thinkpad/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/16/video-os-x-10-4-3-dual-booted-on-a-thinkpad/
