Re: We're we the Apple x86 lab rats???



It's all quite surreal. I've been off and on this list since Rhapsody on Intel faded into the sunset.

I always thought in the back of my mind that this list was proof of something... I can't express how excited this development makes me. To think that my current, or next, PC might be "Mac compatible"? Oh, thank heaven.

JK. Tell your superiors that they have just opened the door to a gold mine and that they will be rewarded ten fold. I hope they don't stop making Apple computers though. Now they can have their cake and eat it too.

Congratulations.

So....

With Apple's announcement that its planning to switch over to Intel
chips, does this mean this whole effort with Darwin was less of a grass
roots effort as hobbyists to move the Mac OS over to x86 via Darwin and
more of Apple just sitting back and letting us be their lab rats while
we found solutions and answers to making Darwin more stability and
useable? I honestly don't mind, heck if Darwin keeps evolving into a
far more stable and robust commercial version, something with the
potential to chip away at the Windows empire, I'm all for that. I just
thought it was interesting to see how things have sort of come together
on this path.




I think we did *a little more on x86 than just put out Darwin releases during the last 5 years, heh

But sure, the Darmwin x86 community helped towards this whole effect.

It's weird after so so long to be able to talk about this at all....
