"Apple Mac OS" appears on Dell's driver downloads

Well, isn't that unusual? Dell offering OS X driver downloads on their site? Hmm. We know you want it, Mike, but somehow we don't think your company has Jobs in your pocket quite yet. Give it some time though, we're sure he's bound to come around now that he's in the PC business, himself.

P.S. The drivers listed on Dell's site don't actually appear to be files for use in OS X, so for now we're chalking this up to Dell-related error. But see for yourself, why don't you?

[Thanks, Nick F]

Alphabetical order dipshit.

I'd eat shit and die twice before using OSX on a Dell. Dell has already loaded XP with a bunch of crap that slows it down. If Dell gets ahold of a license for OSX, then the shit will hit the fans.

Stephen:

which is why the first thing you do is to nuke the drive and start fresh, installing only what you want.

Patrick:
Dell doing well? Yeah, that stock is gonna pass Google soon. ;) I fear the Dell store idea UNLESS they put them into popular markets, unlike Gateway who put them on every street corner.

An Apple certainly will accept a .exe file. What you MEANT to say was "Apple OS X won't accept a Windows-compiled .EXE file." .exe is just an extension. I can rename Apple Binary to Apple Binary.exe and it will run just the same.

Down with the blasphemy! Total hoax.

I have a Dell 1600n and one of my computers is a mac mini. I hardly have any of the options on my mac mini that I have with my PCs....pretty much all I can do is hit print and hope it comes out right. An OSX driver for the 1600n would be awesome so that I could use the mac mini to print more often.

To #44, if you do not want to hear about Apple do not post in an Apple related article. It's like going into a bar, not wanting to hear about alcohol.

If I am not mistaken, iPod is a gadget and so are computers. If you want to get picky, then Engadget has been doing it all wrong since day one; there are thousands of references to computers, such as Apple, Sony, Toshiba, etc.

These printers that we are seeing Mac OS Drivers for probably come with the computers we're seeing it under (as an option during customization)
