Maybe this one upgrade to the full Vista Ultimate would equal all those OS
X upgrades.
And, the design (memory and HDDs) and performance (sexier cases too) of
the new Mac desktops is far,
far superior to anything Wintel offers for my purposes.

But Apple *is* WinTel now - that's my point. You can run Windows natively
on the WinTel Macs.
Just pissed by MS's greed and paranoia.

But Apple's greed and paranoia doesn't bother you? Itunes songs only play
on Ipods because Apple won't license the DRM, you can't legally install OS X
on anything but an Apple PC, Apple routinely sues it's biggest fans for
publishing rumours on web pages, etc.

Can I run OS X on my HP box?

Don't give a fig, or a rat's ass, about iPods or iTunes.

And the new high end Mac boxes are sexier, better designed and better performing.

And from those running Vista RTM -- so very, very many problems and annoyances.

Vista: Way, way, way too expensise: way, way, way too "snoopy"; way, way, way too buggy.

| Yes, you can. Not legally, but it will run.

Nice to know,
Thanks
 
Thanks again,
Just worried about motherboard drivers though... (Asus mobo, but only used by HP, who doesn't even
provide separate drivers, only proprietary XP disk, and no drivers on Asus site either).
Would love the give OS X a try.

| I personally have OS X 10.4.6 installed on an IBM ThinkPad T41. Everything

Wow - that sounds pretty strange.

However, if it uses a standard chipset (Intel is best, others can be
problematic) then it should at least install.

Spent hours and hours trying to install generic XP Pro trying to install drivers from HP disk -- no
luck.

Do you get the "Move To" button on the application title bars? Everything
else seems to be working with Version 2.7.1.

Actually... hmm... how to put this without sounding like a jerk... XP only
uses 3GB RAM. Got that from MS consultants on the project on which I'm
working... probably won't find that documented anywhere, but that's what we
discovered in testing... sorry, don't have imperical data on that, just
relaying what I was told by MS.

This guy has a less than cordial method of posting. I would label it
"egomaniacal malcontent." His "truth" does not map to what most in here
would call truth. Whatever... I concur with your observations.

"egomaniacal malcontent."
That was good! :)
