Hackintosh maker gets legal greeting from Apple

To Anonymous Coward

In Mac OS X, drop to a command prompt/console, cd to /var/logs and cat messages,

Check the Kernel load up messages and compare it to say.. Ubuntu

Every command you typed, the layout of the filesystem, the "Kernel" are all the same as Linux, which of course is a clone of Unix.

The company jobs created the OS X GUI in, was called NeXT Software.. not so strangely NeXTs homepage now goes to apple.com

Also, look up the XNU Kernel, and its references to BSD... which is, oh you guessed it, a flavour of Unix.

Mac OS X is based on a PC OS anyway

Someone mentioned above that Mac OS was designed by Apple,

It was actually designed by another company owned by Steve Jobs at the time, and even then is was only the interface that was designed, underneath it is Linux, a free open source OS which can run reliably on any hardware that hasn't been released within the last month.

This Linux, with its Fancy OS X front end should run ok well built PCs, and even non-well built PCs with a bit of tweaking (which come on, is half the fun of a PC anyway)

I hope Apple Lose,

I've tried almost every OS under the sun, except Mac, because I can't afford, and don't own their hardware,

I'd love to compare it on a Core 2 Duo PC to windows, and shut up a lot of Mac fan boys who all seem to be in some form of SJ induced trance, where they believe all of Apples Marketing Hype!
