Video of a Dell laptop running OS X?

Dell OS X Could this be video of that mythical Dell laptop running the developers' copy of OS X for Intel?

Maybe. It could also be a Dell laptop running PearPC, and emulating the most advanced operating system on the planet.

We all know it wouldn't be that hard to fake this, and with the Cult of Mac calling the leaked builds a hoax I'm thinking this isn't kosher.

What do you think, dear readers?

tom: It's easy to modify an osx dialog box to say what you want.. http://exiva.net/per/aboutatari.png just to prove its not a photoshop job... http://exiva.net/per/atarimac.mov Apple makes it fairly easy to do this with NIB files and XCode's Interface Builder, so it's pretty easy to vnc into a mac, with a modded NIB file for the about window and take a few stills.

Damn, nanowoodward, you CAN'T be serious -- I beg of you! Either I'm getting old, or the Atari 2600 was well before your time. Fishes, narco.

LMAO @ 'Dual Atari 2600' The Dell switch to Atari processors will be even bigger news than the Apple switch to Intel, I predict.

Sheesh, they coulda just used Apple Remote Desktop's built-in VNC mode to avoid having the OSXvnc dock icon present. What kinda hoaxers ARE these guys? Talk about sad... =D

well I actually managed to get a copy of an ISO file going by the name OS X x86 developers build. Then booted it up. I was greeted by a nasty picture - if you guys know who "goatse guy" is... well it was a picture of him. It was fake.
