Thinkpad running OS X 10.4.3

I was always fond of the rock solid Thinkpads. If 10.4.4 will run on them...

yada yada its a DEVELOPMENT version, that said cant wait for a real intel mac.This footage already proves its faster than xp, hold longhorn billy, your coders need a major rewrite (again). So as it turns out those power pc chips were rubbish slow all along, shame on apple for the 5 years of sales b******t saying otherwise

does ethernet work with the thinkpad t40? i'm thinking of trying it on mine, but it would be useless if i couldn't get the net to run.

Can you upgrade via software update? Nope. Already tried it!

jus wonderin those 10.4.3 x86 hacked for educational purpose can update to 10.4.4 with the Apple software update??

Wow, this seems to run much faster than on my 1.5Ghz, 15" Powerbook of one year ago. This doesn't look like an incremental speed upgrade anymore but like a real step forward. Starting to look forward to the new Intel MacBook's. Suddenly my PB start to feel sloow.

ewwwey I feel like a racist or something, they're tainting OS X!

This isn't noteworthy -- 10.4.3 was the last pre-IntelMac official release -- designed to work on Intel developer boxes with bios -- the released iMac and Macbook Pro run 10.4.4, and do not use bios. This is the same basic trick that appeared right after last year's WWDC. This would be news only if it was not using the special pre-release version of OSX designed to work on units not too dissimilar to the Thinkpad -- something the real relased version isn't. That's not to say that someone won't hack 10.4.4 and beyond, but it hasn't happened yet...

Very impressive, and I see that Bob also has it running w/ VMWare?!? Wow, that's even one more variable. I wonder how average windows users will react when they get exposed to OS X in large numbers?
