OSx86 up to 10.4.3
Looks like the OSx86 project has figured out a workaround to that whole lockdown thing... See, Apple has pretty much quit updating developer builds, which effectively blocks a number of fixes and enhancements to OS X in Intels. However, those enterprising young hackers out there have figured out a way to roll in updates without actually running an update. And of course, that 600 MB torrent is out there for you brave folks.As a postscript to my own pathetic observation of OSx86 in the wild, I will say that particular install ran much better after Spotlight got its act together. It'll be interesting to see if this particular update speeds things up even more, just remember, and I'm quoting OSx86 project here: "As always, The OSx86 Project does not condone piracy. Downloading these files is a crime. We have not and will not be a party to illegal activities. This information, like all our news, is to keep you up-to-date on the latest news. Please don’t steal." If Apple's lawyers show up at your house tonight, just give them candy and play dumb.

Here's my Dell Windows costume:
I'll don a slightly mismatched suitsay, a blue blazer and black pants, with a brown belt and black shoes. Then, I'll constantly sneeze while I try to wipe my nose, trying desperately to get rid of a cold, but never quite doing so. Also, I'll have an MCSE constantly following me, trying to adjust my wardrobe while my pants keep falling off. Also, I'll have a legion of fan-boys that look just as bad as I do, apologizing for me wherever I gowithout actually having any other experience to the contrarydisparaging other people who are far more fashionable and far more functional than I.
I'll also have my sub-two-digit IQ in Windows Trebuchet font painted on my forehead.
