This morning I read
here
that Mac Daily News reports that the developer's build of OS X for Intel runs on any standard PC. The second I read this it made CLICK! in my brain... If this is true then that explains why Apple will wait until 2006/2007 to ship "the real thing" - very clever! Spreading Mac OS X like wildfire!
I then followed the links and quickly got where my analysis was shared... The Shape of Days calls it
"Try before you buy?"
:
"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."
...they run a build of Mac OS X 10.4.1 that includes Apple’s bundled iLife ’05 suite of applications.
"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."
"If I can think through this stuff, Apple’s management can think through this stuff."
"This is the most awe-inspiring stealth marketing move I’ve ever seen."
