[QUOTE="justintd, post: 18448"] [b]OSX on PC[/b] I have actually run darwin and various versions of MacOS successfully on a PC. Please see [url]http://gxsystems.gotdns.com/justin/vpc.htm[/url] Now here's my question. I deal in IT mainly Win2K/XP ... we have a unix firewall, and I have my powerbook as a toy.. but OSX is based on Unix. Now in Unix you have the x-windows packages which provide the graphical interface. If this is the case, then in theory, OS-X is Darwin with an x-windows system. Why couldn't someone simply install that package on top of Darwin and have a working copy of OSX? Justin [/QUOTE]
