Well, after some trial & error & accidental deletation of many downloaded TV Shows, Zeeshan from this forum was able to run MacOS X 10.4.6 on his PC finally. Well....we will be disecting it soon compleately more then we disected Windows after his exams end.
This is just the begaining, MacOS X installed using the compatibility patch & since his PC only has onboard graphics he had to disable many things to get some speed, but now it is working quite speedy. Mac isn't that easy to use as Macboys say it to be. Enter key renames, to take a screenshot you have to press alt+shift+3 while the print screen key doesn't work & many other things. Lets see if it really is what the Mac users say it is.
In 30 mins, I tried quicktime which hanged cos i draged & droped a video file in it. Well on 2nd try it worked. But still failed to play cos it was XVID.
One problem with HSF is that is journling type file system. Means if there is a electricity cut or system crash chances are that the file system or file will get curropt. Actully this happened with him just now as lights went out & his UPS power also went down in few minutes. I hope he won't need to reinstall MacOS again.
Finder, don't talk about it. This is simple rubish. Even nautilus was better.
You cannot uninstall those apps which are in the form name.app using the usual drag & drop method to trash. You will need a perl script, well...so much for ease of Software uninstallation.
One very genuine flaw of MacOS X is that we cannot resize a Windows from any angle just the south east corner

White colour theme, he likes it but I am looking for some black color theme. Mac users if you know of any dark color theme let me know.
Aplications do not full screen. They just don't & Mac is full of palated UI which might be good for some users of Mac. I tried safari which is good in opening pages, but then i found he was on the 2 Mbps line
, obviously pages open fast.
Just a few videos I made & a screenshot of his computer. He will be continuing this thread alongwith me to enlighten everyone how good or bad MacOS X is as said by some users.
