WHY ONLY WINDOWS XP & VISTA??

who's mac en xp ??? hehehehe :D..just kidding!

Ubuntu Linux Here, smoothly upgraded to 8.10 a few days ago.

I have Windows and MacOS on Virtual Machines for some stuff.

Dear all

You can install windows on any Intel Mac; iMac, PowerBook, MacPro etc..you need to have the latest version of Mac OS X 10.5.x, which has a utility called Bootcamp that lets you put windows on, effectively creating a dual- boot machine.

You can also put mac OS X on any computer with Intel processors, but the Hackintosh patches tend to work better on later models, say the last year old or so; google or torrent the latest Kalway OS X patches; it's tricky to do, and you need to have a Mac to create the disc images you need from your OS X Installer disc...it only works with 10.4.x (Tiger) or 10.5.x (Leopard) and the patches are different for either. I built a Quadcore computer in AUgust in teh UK with 4GB RAM, 2 x 1TB Harddrives, metal case, DVDRW, bluray, 2 x FW800+400 and NVidia 9800GTX graphics for UKP800; if you wanted similar specs from Apple would cost you over UKP2000. I also installed WinXPPro64, VistaUlt32 and Linux on the same machine.

Google Hackintosh for the forums where all will be explained.

For everyone's information, you can install Windows OS (XP/Vista) on any Intel Mac! So its like having 2 computers for the price of 1. I don't think that's expensive. You have the option to install Apple's Boot Camp and choose either to boot Mac OS X or Windows at start-up. With a 3rd party software (a couple to mention), you can even run the Mac OS X and Windows side-by-side.

On the other hand, installing Mac OS on a PC is just not feasible. If ever you may succeed in installing the same, it will just not perform right. I dare anybody to use a brand new Mac against a brand new PC (with Mac OS installed - good luck in trying!), and compare the difference. Imagine a sport car's engine installed in a cheap-o car.

Once you go Mac, you'll never go back!

Yes, Mufy, u can install mac os x on any PC with X86 architecture(P4 is one).U need to have the DVD installation software.I do not know whther u can do it but there r several steps to have it run.

Do u enjoy being what u r i.e network support engineer, is it not boring?what courses have u done?Last holidays i was just srtudying abt A+ course..next holidays i will study abt N+?what u say abt this course?

so true, I used to do that with windows 2003 server to have a network of 4 or 5 servers running there such as Exchange, ISA, Files server and Active Directory. :) Having virtual machines also is a nice thing to do

i was just having doubt wid ma knowledge.now i got it cleared .thx.u know wat..i got jas mac..it gets installed on my p4 pc..when restarted it shows a message to restart it again..i did several time but no use.anyways..now i got no time so later i will do virtualisation which is much much better.

my laptop is an IBM and most of everytthing there from Intel [network graphics, processor] so no problems were there. I installed the JAS version, not original MAC :)

gr8..which processor is urs?plz lemme know whther u installed the original mac on it or the JAS mac on it.

I got both on my laptop, MAC and Windows XP as a dual boot and both are working fine :) How to dual boot it? Just install MAC, install windows later on other partition. Windows would be the active now and you will not see MAC, get any boot utility to boot to your hard drive and then set the partion that got MAC as active. From there under preferences, just modify a text field, adding a Key Value and one line, then you are are done after saving the changes and restarting. You will see, both of them there in addition also to the secured partition on the list [laptop or branded desktop].

Best Regards

WIN XP CAN BE BOOTED FROM USB DISKS AND VISTA DOESNT ALLOW BUT MAC OS X CAN BE BOOTED FROM ANY USB DISKS.

IF UR GONNA INSTALL ON A DIFFERENT PARTITION, U CANT RUN WINDOWS AND MAC AT THE SAME TIME.U NEED TO USE VIRTUAL STATION IN ORDER TO HAVE MULTIPLE OS RUNNING AT THE SAME TIME.WHAT MORE, U CAN RUN UBUNTU(LINUX), MAC OS X AND WINDOWS AT THE SAME TIME.

me tioo busy now a days..?so wat u upto..?

Its called virtual station sumthing, i can run Mac OSX on it, and also Linux..

I only have Linux on my laptop and sometimes, even though its limited to ur own knowledge what u can do with it, it feels better than the normal 'Send error report to Microsoft' and the constant crashes the Windows (and only the Windows) experiences.

Been using linux for 2 1/2 years, the mandrake version, and it never crashed.

Mac OSX is very cool, and i think is more user friendly than Windows.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

climbing the walls-coz i miss you

how r u doing man? long time no see and I hope that eerything is going fine with u. MAC can be installed on PCs and the same thing, Windows can be installed on MAC machines, but with Intel processors.

u r talking about instyalling Mac OSon PC.. is it possible..?

wat will be the performance like..?

IMACS R WAY TOO COSTLY AND U CANT RUN ANY OTHER OS OTHER THAN MAC ON IT.EVEN IF U R GONNA BUY MAC OS (ONLY CD) AND TRY TO INSTALL ON A WINDOWS PC, IT WOULDNT WORK.IT WILL WORK ONLY ON APPLE COMPUTERS.BUT THERE IS A REPACKED VERSION WHICH CAN BE USED TO RUN AND U WILL JUST FEEL LIKE UR USING A REAL IMAC PC.WELL..THE BEST THING IS U CAN ALSO MAKE BOTH OS THAT IS XP AND MAC RUN AT SAME TIME...IT JUST NEEDS SUM REAL PRECIOUS TIME TO DO ALL THAT.

hi,

i use imac at home and office. i amhappy that now theres an apple which can run on mac and windows. but i never jknew pc cud bve run on macintosh..
