Apple OS X for intel available for download?

The Intel-based Power Macintoshes that Apple is showing at their developer conference are based on an Intel motherboard, generic Intel graphics and off-the-shelf Pentium 4 CPUs.

...

I estimate that we’re down to a matter of hours before Mac OS X 10.4.1 for Intel hardware is available for download on Internet software piracy sites and peer-to-peer piracy networks. (Update: A reader who for obvious reasons wishes to remain anonymous just demonstrated to me that the software is, in fact, already available on Internet software piracy sites.)

 

linky no work anymore.

 

File is a fake tbh

 

There is one fake file floating around which is actually just a large pack of text files.

The real thing should sprout up sometime though. Considering that the developer machines are running phoenix bios with typical pc hardware, it should work.

 

I think it'll only work on P4's and A64 processors, as the AXP's dont have SSE3 etc.

Also, you'll need intel extreme graphics, or a nvidia/ati graphics card. For network, i'm sure you'll need an apple supported nic, like a bog standard Realtek8139 or somthing. I'm sure the integrated intel nic will work though.

 

Well developers are just starting to get their kits. The reports say Windows installs easily on the Apple machines, but OS X will not install on any other PC. I think there will probably be a workaround sometime, but nothing so far.
