Re: [MLUG] Apple / UC @ Berkley Software Parternership !

Unfortunately, you're bringing up a topic that has been fought bravely over many
a time. Many people think that Apple does have a version of OSX lying around
somewhere that does run on x86. The support for this is that the way the OS was
developed was apparently cross-platform. The reason they may have it, but not
let it out, is that Apple makes all of its money on hardware sales, so releasing
this new OS to run on non-Apple hardware would probably kill the company.

However, the kernel of the OS, Darwin, is open source, and has been run
successfully on x86 platforms.

As my own personal aside, though, I'd suggest trying to switch to Mac platforms
over the next few years, anyway, because both Intel and AMD are planning to
support DRM (a la Palladium) in their upcoming processors.
