OS X on a pc

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

for those interested

apparently there is a version of OS X that runs on a pc.
reported in Future Music this month. apparently apple are moving over to intel chips next year and a development copy of OS X has been leaked on to the interweb.
i am more likely to release an album before the sisters

been around for quite a while, but it doesn't support all hardware etc. The coming version, when released, is supposed to work only on IntelMacs and not IBM-compatibles.
... keep laughing ... kindredspirits.tk - debut album out now!

Don't think I'll try installing an OS which was based on something created for PCs, hacked around to work on Mac architecture, and then re-hacked to work on intel chips again...

apparently the "translation" layer called rosetta helps osx talk to the pc . reported use of logic with multiple audio tracks has been achived with little or no problem.
no "official comment" yet.
although apple are reported to be looking at the security of the software.
