Vaio Running OS X

Sorry arkowi I hadn't seen a computer dual boot XP and OS X like that before. Maybe I am just behind the times or need to get out more often.

OMG!!! it's so fast, i had a titanium but this is the next big sh*t if Apple take the risk and go further. As a developer i'd like to have both systems on my lap

Well I have an AMD 64 3200+ and have installed Mac OSX... it boots fast (faster than my 1,5 year windows install at least) and it works nicely, even with no SSE3... as there is a software emulation tool that allows SSE3 dependent applications to run on a SSE2 rig... I have no network support neither on my Wireless or my Ethernet, as there are no drivers for them... just as my geforce 6600 gt that is only listed as beeing vesa3 compatible (i guess don't remember now)... nop I can't see the ripple effect on the dashboard...the system is tottaly unstable, but I could (finnaly) have a hands on approach to a plattform I will never be abble to affoard (mac mini doesn't hold up to my needs) I want a Apple computer but I will hold off to a hybrid mac osx /Vista in 2006 as I love my windows based gaming...

Just wondering if anyone can speak to the keyboard issue. CMD=CTL, OPT=ALT. But what happens when you're running OS X on a PC and you need to hit the Mac CTL for a contextual menu?

I should try to install OSx86 on my brother's Sony Vaio. It is the closest spec to a 15" powerbook, except faster. 2.0ghz Pentium-M, 2gb of RAM, 80gb hard drive, 15.4 widescreen, 6.2lbs, very thin and sleek. It's a customized FS-500. But that thing did cost more than my Customized 1.67ghz G4 PB.

I observed that Safari displayed a "page cannot load - not connected to internet" error, and the Widgets that relied on the web didn't load, either (e.g., Weather). Is there some problem with connecting to the web on these hacked setups?

arkowi no you are wrong. If the processor supports sse2 or sse3 he can run powerpc compiled programs via Rosetta. So it could be a full fledged OS X laptop right now. BBEdit from Barebones is native now, as well as Transmit from Panic. The best programs on the mac in my opinion.

I'll never talk about any company's durability after what I've gone through with my iBook. Its closing in on 3 years since I purchased it and the logic board has failed 3 times. And to make things worse, I just got it back from Apple last week (after only being gone for 2 days, props to Apple for that!), but not only did they replace my logic board, they replaced my upgraded 40 GB drive with a standard issue 20 GB drive. Still trying to resolve that one.

LOL. How interesting that Mac's shutdown is much quick than Windows'. Few thing I would like to see thing work with Bluetooth adapter and I don't see anyone use iChat on PC hardware. Hmm....
