OK, this is actually XP that it was done with, but if you read it, you can see that it apparently can be done...

Looks like they have a trifecta.......Windows, OS X, and Linux--all on the same box! That is enticing indeed. I'd prefer virtualization to skip the reboot (altho 23 seconds isn't bad), but that is supposedly an ability of the Core Duo chipsets, so that might be coming in the future.

Wouldn't it be cheaper to go the other way since we already have non-Apple boxes? That is to say, run OSX on our machines rather than buy a new machine and move XP and Vista over to it.

Seems like it will be a "harder nut to crack" due to the built-in DRM on the Core Duo chipset that makes OS X tick. After all, Apple makes its money from hardware, not software. They want to be the go-to computer, not the provider of software to beige boxes.
I'm not saying it won't be hacked, but I don't think Apple will every try to be a mass-market PC OS provider. It is too hard to support every permutation and combination of PCs out there.
I could see them possibly bringing in another OEM to build to their specs (a la cloning) but not opening their OS to all PCs.

One disadvantage though is, the iMac Core Duo Intel processors are 32-bit, not 64-bit. -- Andre Extended64 | http://www.extended64.com Blog | http://www.extended64.com/blogs/andre http://spaces.msn.com/members/adacosta FAQ for MS AntiSpy http://www.geocities.com/marfer_mvp/FAQ_MSantispy.htm

Yeah, it would be, I have been lurking through the OSx86project forums, and trust me, its difficult to install OS X on a generic PC. The procedures provided to install XP on an iMac is more user friendly for my taste. As I mentioned in an earlier post, the iMac Core Duo is 32-bit, which is a draw back for me, so if I was to invest in a Macintosh, it would likely be the Intel x86 PowerMacs when they become available. -- Andre Extended64 | http://www.extended64.com Blog | http://www.extended64.com/blogs/andre http://spaces.msn.com/members/adacosta FAQ for MS AntiSpy http://www.geocities.com/marfer_mvp/FAQ_MSantispy.htm
