I would probably still buy my hardware from Apple, but that has served me well before. Chances are a multi-hardware OSXI would put pressure on Apple to make even better hardware. (And perhaps a consumer-level tower mac, yes?)]]>Jun 13th 2008 8:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/13/efix-wants-to-bring-osx86-to-the-masses/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/13/efix-wants-to-bring-osx86-to-the-masses/Jun 13th 2008 8:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/13/efix-wants-to-bring-osx86-to-the-masses/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/13/efix-wants-to-bring-osx86-to-the-masses/
Finally SUPERIOR hardware with... Mac OS X
You thought I was going to say "superior software", didn't you? I would, but I have this thing against lying.

Yeah, just look at Bill Gates, he's going broke!

And despite Microsoft's unchallenged dominance in the computer world, they have had no success. Right?]]>Jun 13th 2008 10:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/13/efix-wants-to-bring-osx86-to-the-masses/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/13/efix-wants-to-bring-osx86-to-the-masses/
I don't think he was referring to financial success.

I agree, if they use loads of DRM how am i supposed to get my downloaded copy of the internet?

Apple sells computer hardware. Releasing their OS to the masses would result in less hardware sold. Also Apple support is great because they limited their support to their hardware. It makes it easier for me, it makes it easier for them.]]>Jun 15th 2008 9:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/13/efix-wants-to-bring-osx86-to-the-masses/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/13/efix-wants-to-bring-osx86-to-the-masses/Jun 13th 2008 8:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/13/efix-wants-to-bring-osx86-to-the-masses/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/13/efix-wants-to-bring-osx86-to-the-masses/Jun 13th 2008 8:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/13/efix-wants-to-bring-osx86-to-the-masses/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/13/efix-wants-to-bring-osx86-to-the-masses/

PS
OS X has no drm, serials, genuine advantage crap. all pirated copies work fine. But, as a loving mac fan... I will tell you not to do it. Just fork over the 130 bucks and get a legal copy. Think about the programmers... what incentive do they have to write good stuff if they don't get paid. Please do not pirate.
