Just for the heck of it i did a search on btoogle.com for x86 mac os x and intel mac os x and it didnt come up with anything. Im amazed that it hasn't leaked. But it probably will a few months after they start shipping the developer boxes. Dont worry im not trying to do anything illegal and this post is not intended to help anyone doing anything illegal. I would never do something like that to apple after all I am a stock holder.

yeah. I was surprised too. this is just supposition, but I have a feeling Apple wants to agressively go after Microsoft, and this is really the only way to do it. If thats the case, it makes since why this was kept ultra secret.

You all do understand that the Intel version of OS X will not run on any Intel PC right? It will require Apple's Open Firmware and Apple's chipset to function. So even if you do find it, good luck trying to use it ;)

I have realized that but there are some stupid poeple out there that would rather spend weeks of there valuable time cracking it to work rather then just go out and buy a mini for 500 and call it a night

It is believed that Apple purposely leaked the switch to Intel last week. They wanted to lessen the blow of the announcement. You know how huge it would have been if nobody was expecting it? There would be mass Mac riots all over the world :)
