Mac OS X Intel Leaked?

Monday June 13, 2005 11:41 am PDT by Arnold Kim
Over the weekend there were unverified reports that Apple's developer Mac OS X for Intel had been leaked.

Thus far, there is no real evidence that this is actually the case.

One fake OS X has been spotted on the file-trading networks but no actual reports of legitimate seeds. It's not known if the developer Mac OS X Intel will install on a standard PC with the same chipset.

whats the point? if you want osx that bad, spend 70 or so dollars and get a cheap imac. this probably wouldn't even work that well, if its just developers build then you can't update it and there would be a TON of bugs in it

I bet there are PC users who would like to give this a try out of curiosity. However after the curiosity wears off what is the value?

I disagree, I have a few macs, and I'd love to install it on my existing PCs as well. It's not about me being cheap, it's about me wanting MORE macs :)

*looks over at the little devil on his shoulder telling him to go find it, download it and install it on his X31 Thinkpad and see what happens.

*looks over at the little angle who is telling him its wrong because you don't have a license and it probably wouldn't work right anyways.*

Yah. why do I doubt that Apple shipped an OS installer CD....well then again what do they do if something they work on blows the system up? I mean it is an early dev system after all....hmmm

-Tick you off.

It's not real. Trust me.

Unless you can match the x86 dev hardware, it won't run anyway, e.g. GPU, MB chipset, etc.

Also the Mac OS X will still on run on a Mac with the Intel chip inside. Just like the one purchased by premiere developers for $999.

I believe this has been posted to about as many threads as the original Intel rumors were. From what I've read, the ISO "images" out there are just the letters GNAA repeated over and over again. So basically some idiot out there is having a lot of fun watching other idiots waste hours downloading their little prank. Don't be an idiot, don't waste your time.
