Apple slaps DMCA notice on OSx86 project

JOBS' MOB lawyers have swooped on to a message board run by the OSx86 project which is geared to those interested in using the Apple OS X onto x86 hardware.

Apple makes a very nasty assumption here.

Not everybody who will be running OS10 on their computer is a thief. What about the guy who went and bought the OS but then loaded it on his Dell? He *CLEARLY* is not stealing. He paid for it. He has the reciept in hand.

One more thing. All this is doing is demonstrating why Apple has been irrelevant in computing for years. They are more of a bully than M$ is, they just don't have M$' marketshare to really flex their muscles.

Nobody likes a bully. That's why Apple lost their lead years ago. That's why they lost their #2 spot as well.

Currently, Apple is not selling separate packages of Mac OS X for Intel. The retail box is for Power PC only. The Intel version of Mac OS X is only available with the purchase of an Intel Mac computer. Your lack of credibility on Mac issues was proven a long time ago.

Where did I say it was being sold currently?

And what of the guy who bought a mac and wants to load OS10 on his dell?

Apple's never had a problem(to my knowledge) with buying one OS10 disk and putting it on a handful of macs.

^^^^^^^^^^^^Your lack of credibility on Mac issues was proven a long time ago.^^^^^^^^^^^^^

You and golden eagle are funny with your liberal-like tactics.

If you had something to say, you wouldn't have to make it about me.
