Why you'll love Mac OS X.

[aryayush]

Aryayush tell me one thing why won't Apple people release their OS to work on all hardware...what and why they are afraid of ...

Cannibalizing their hardware sales. Apple is essentially a hardware company that just happens to be the best software company in the world.

And i think we can buy a mac OS separately becoz one of my friend has buyed it out of excitement in 60Rs from Palika ..never checked though..

Yes, Mac OS X is available for purchase separately but it will only work on Macs. This is the third time I'm saying this.

guyz,i prefer windows coz its waaayyyyy simpler than linux or any other ones.

Simpler than Linux? Yes. Simpler than Mac OS X? LOL!

Mac OS X is the grand-daddy of simplicity and user interface design!

Can we install 3rd party applications like adium there?

Yes, you can.

theres no chance in hell that jobs will release leopard for non-Macs (macs too are PCs) his hair grow back before that happens

grand daddy i cant find those laughing gifs when i need them none the les grand daddy of interface design simplicity

 

[SunnyChahal]

phir sawal kyu pucha...

jali kya...

Lol,let me make it clear .
i asked that,can i install mac os on my pc which is not a mac?
i didnt ask that we get it seperately or what.
I hope things are clear now.
now u wont call someone ghochu without getting the point.

On a Mac, you need to press five buttons to install Leopard - Start, Next (language selection), Next (hard drive partition), Next (option to exclude some of the default stuff) and Finish. That's it.

On A pc you need to press 5 buttons to install Tiger, Start, Next (language selection), Next (hard drive partition), Next (option to exclude some of the default stuff) and Finish. Thats it.

On a PC u need to install 3 buttons to install Vista. Start (Install Now), Next (enter key), Next (select partition). Finish.

My seven year old sister installed Leopard for me while I cooked noodles for her and I'm not even kidding!

I installed Vista in my friends computer today using an unattended DVD. Just insert the DVD, click on next then select partition & finish. 3 clicks only

 

[aryayush]

I heard somewhere that Apple is planning to launch Leopard for non-mac PCs too.I guess that was just a rumour.

They might do it the day Steve Jobs leaves the chair but before that - fat chance!

Mac OS X is available for purchase separately but it will only work on Macs.

Mac OS will officially & legally work only on Mac hardware. Unofficially u can run on PC too.

i just now contacted an astrologer and confirmed..

this thread is going to run into 20 pages before shantanu closes it..

but first it will be moved to chit chat and then some time for fight club and then finally it gets locked......

You're such a huge liar. I was talking about Leopard. Tiger needs a lot more clicks, even on a Mac.

On a PC u need to install 43 buttons to install Vista.

I know that, actually. You did not need to publicly announce it.

Mac OS X that you buy from any place on Earth will not work on any PC using any method whatsoever! That's it.

 

[The_Devil_Himself]

What I have learnt from this Thread so far:
1.Apple is actually a hardware company.
2.Apple is very greedy.Inspite of the fact that most non-mac PCs can run tiger\leopard,they have restricted it to just macs so that they can sell their exorbitantly priced 'hardware'.
3.Once a mac user always an Apple salesmen.
4.There is still more to learn.

You need an astrologer to confirm that??!!

I request the members to cut short the discussion about running Mac OS X on platforms that its not intended to.

Really, I don't think so .

 

[aryayush]

You did not buy it. You downloaded a cracked version.

I second that. We are straying dangerously close to forbidden territory here.

@devil something i understood in my early days at this forum viz a vi andy

[infra_red_dude]

[gxsaurav]

You did not buy it. You downloaded a cracked version.

2.Apple is very greedy.Inspite of the fact that most non-mac PCs can run tiger\leopard,they have restricted it to just macs so that they can sell their exorbitantly priced 'hardware'.

Is Microsoft greedy for not releasing the Zune OS to be run on iPods? Is Nintendo greedy for not allowing their Wii OS to run on PS3s?

Apple makes the software and the hardware and both are very tightly integrated. This results in the rock solid systems that Macs are. Macs very rarely crash, if ever. The reason is that the OS is specifically designed for the machine it is running on.

Just because Apple chooses to make top notch products, it makes them a greedy company? Splendid logic, if I may say so!

Macs are quality products and Apple expects you to pay for quality. If you don't want to, keep using Windows and stop lusting after Mac OS X. No one is forcing it down your throat.

3.Once a mac user always an Apple salesmen.

And what I learned is that we have another poor learner in our midst. That most Mac users recommend Macs to other people does not reflect the fact that Apple makes products that have a very high customer satisfaction rating. No, why should we view it that way! It means that Mac users are salesmen.

Please don't resort to name-calling! You are not the only one here with ten fingers, a keyboard, an Internet connection and the freedom of speech.

Those OS are made for that particular hardware. Mac OS X is made for X86 hardware now on Which Windows & Linux also run, so yeah....Apple should release it for normal PCs.

Just because Apple chooses to make top notch products, it makes them a greedy company?

Greedy, yes. Top Notch Product, nope.
