Title: Could I run OS X on a PC designed for Windows?
Post by: Ricky on May 24, 2007, 06:36:20 AM
I looked at a MacBook Pro yesterday and it didn't look like it had any hardware different then Windows.

You know how stupid you sound? Well, I don't blame you. caterpie;

Back to the question, of course you can. If you have the processor, enough RAM, the OS X installation disk and stuff then you'll be able to do it. I'm no particular expert on the OSx86 project (http://wiki.osx86project.org/wiki/index.php/Main_Page) but you can just read the Wiki and know how to do it. Plus, there are videos on YouTube for inspiration. However, don't be discouraged when you find that you can't get it to install or run the Operating System well. Also, if you're planning on installing OS X on a fucked up computer then don't be surprised that you can't do it; because I'm not sure if you can do it on a fucked up computer or not.

I highly recommend that you do not pirate the OS X installation disk.

Both. I could never manage to figure out the Finder and it just bothered me, and the Brushed Steal thing is puke, too. If it was a bit less brushedy, maybe some more ability to change shit, it might be good for me.

I use Windows, always have, always will. My dad was an HP technician, so I got SOME reason to anyways. He also scored the Pre-final of ME I use, and was pro at networking.

I always liked, that everything on a Mac has always been for creating media and quickly and efficiently. But thats just me. Nice thing about PC is that you can build your own

That makes a lot of sense. I like how good it is for that, PC just blows nuts for that sort of thing, however, for anything else, mainly Gaming and slides, you'll want Windows. The new features and cracks can totally own everything

If you're doing ONLY WEB BASED SHITS like SERVERS, you'll NEED Linux. NEED.

That's about as far as my knowledge can go, bluntly.

Yeah, unquoting that, Linux is really for the elitists who think they're good at everything. It has no function other than being a simple and secure server OS, with some capabilities of a Mac, but that's it.

How exactly is the Finder confusing? It's far more organized and the windowing system is far simpler than Windows. Hell, directories even make sense, unlike things like C:/dsfargeg/System32/Cocks. psyduck;

Also, Shapeshifter serves a purpose. Just look at Zack's desktop.

Another thing you can't say is "I use Windows, always have, always will." I love Mac OS X, but who knows? Apple may severely fuck up the next version. I hated Mac Classic, but love OS X. I've always hated Windows, but if they can make a change in their OS's like Apple, it may become decent.

Also, it would be better to go with something like Unix or BSD for servers.

@Lawlz: Shut up. You're dealing with someone who doesn't think as a normal person, and when you think, Macs were made specifically for those with no mental defects. Why else would I still use Windows? I've been trained to have Windows and keep it running for as long as I need to. I can have it run what I need to, too. That's ALL I NEED.

I don't need graphicking shits. I don't need webbing shits, I just need what I got here.

I'm very used to Windows's interface. When something doesn't work, I can dig into "C:/dsfargeg/System32/Cocks" and fix it. Windows has lots of ways of doing stuff and I find it very easy to find my way around it. Of course, I've had a lot of experience with Windows and I've overcome so many problems -- like a Master Boot record error, a Windows virus, and just simple problems. I think OS X is far too simplified. It's like they tried to hard to make it easy that they just make things that can be manually done harder than they should. I only thing I like about OS X is Exposé, the sexy aqua interface, and those applications that they have that Windows doesn't have a clone of. Of course, if I had a choice between a PC and a Mac; I'd chose Mac.

OS X is simple and Windows is advanced.

Yeah, hopefully they didn't see me downloading CuteFTP crack. I downloaded it on my laptop just before it died so I have no way to erase it from my hard drive even though it's corrupt.

Can they fix a corrupt hard drive?

You know how stupid you sound?
Yes, I suck at operating systems.

Back to the question, of course you can. If you have the processor, enough RAM, the OS X installation disk and stuff then you'll be able to do it. I'm no particular expert on the OSx86 project (http://wiki.osx86project.org/wiki/index.php/Main_Page) but you can just read the Wiki and know how to do it. Plus, there are videos on YouTube for inspiration. However, don't be discouraged when you find that you can't get it to install or run the Operating System well. Also, if you're planning on installing OS X on a fucked up computer then don't be surprised that you can't do it; because I'm not sure if you can do it on a fucked up computer or not.

I highly recommend that you do not pirate the OS X installation disk.
Nope, cable company watches us now. Besides, I'd rather spend money on it anyway. If I did want to install OS X on this PC then it's not going to be some stupid patched version.
That's if your american. The internet providers are being forced to tap everything, which kind of blows. This shows the U.S. is slowly becoming a Communist land. in the BAD way.

wait... so Time Warner Cable AND Cox  know whats going through uTorrent and Transmission?
Yes, they recently did that. The FBI made it so, but I doubt they'll be able to check stuff. Apparently my friend stole a password for a pornsite and I got ported to the dopes too, which blows. I panicked and shut off everything.

@Lawlz: Shut up. You're dealing with someone who doesn't think as a normal person, and when you think, Macs were made specifically for those with no mental defects. Why else would I still use Windows? I've been trained to have Windows and keep it running for as long as I need to. I can have it run what I need to, too. That's ALL I NEED.

I don't need graphicking shits. I don't need webbing shits, I just need what I got here.


Have you ever used Mac OS 9 and below? They're nothing at all like what Apple's pumping out today. The only thing Apple has kept is Finder and Sherlock. When the next version of Windows is released, they may drop the NT core and try something else. (highly doubtful it'll ever happen, though) That means the entire OS will change, and it'll be nothing like previous version. Just like when Apple picked up *Nix. And who's to say a retard can't use a Mac? The current US president uses them.

QuoteWoah, so, what does that say about me, especially since I have no problems whatsoever with windows Millenium Edition?
ME is known as the worst OS ever by many. It's what was installed on the first computer I bought, and it's the most dreadful piece of shit I've ever dealt with.

It merely means you've adapted to what you have.

And you manage to make it so I still sound absolutely stupid. You just got a final release, which blows nuts.
