I’ll have a MacWindows please … (and supersize it too!)


mac os x

I never thought it could be done .. by sheer hardware architecture it is impossible to run the Mac OS X in Windows. Except if you emulate it! This is Windows’ answer to the Mac OS Virtual PC.

It could work both ways — a potential switcher decides not to switch because he already has Mac OSX on his Windows machine … or he becomes very impressed and decides to buy Apple’s deal breaker — the Mac Mini (and its portable too, if you think this ain’t mobile technology), and plug in all his peripherals into that 6.5 square inch beauty - in his car.

It would be hilarious to come into a coffee shop and see a guy emulating Mac OS X on his Dell or Toshiba portable. it would also be hilarious to see him use Microsoft Office for Mac rather than MS Office forr Windows XP.

I’m not a “switcher” as the term suggests. I’m no die hard Mac fanatic either. My PC is like my mother and my iBook is like my girlfriend. You love em both but you can’t compare. But still, it would be utterly hilarious.

Diba?

This I’ve got to see personally: A person patient enough to install MacOSX on a PC via PearPC (One article I’ve seen says that installation took 3 to 4 hours on a souped-up desktop).

What would *really* be hilarious is seeing a person who had successfully installed and run OS X on a Dell or Toshiba portable and then while using Safari to surf the ‘net… *BAM* a fatal exception error happens…

Duh? Get a Mac mini nalang. Pinapahirapan mo pa sarili mo. Like you buying a Mac and running Virtual PC. You won’t love OS X unless it is being run inside a well-optimized machine specific for that job.
