For all you bitchers using a PC:
Mac OS X 10.4.3 for Intel cracked
Rogue coders have once again cracked the security mechanism that Apple has put in place to tie Mac OS X for Intel to its hardware
According to the OSx86 Project, a user with the alias "Maxxuss" has hacked the kernel so that Mac OS X 10.4.3 for Intel, released about two weeks ago, can run not only on non-Apple Intel systems, but also older systems without the newest hardware purportedly needed to run the OS.
Apple has been increasing the security mechanisms that tie the OS to its hardware with each subsequent release of Mac OS X for Intel but at this point has failed to thwart hackers. Sources have suggested that by the time Intel-based Macs start shipping Apple will have much stronger security measures in place.
As the OSx86 Project notes, however, current TPM restrictions (a security measure) built into Mac OS X Intel are virtually uncrackable, but coders have been successful in duping the OS into thinking it doesn't need such authorization.
Okay good luck with this guys. Perhaps now everybody can benefit from FCP on whatever you use.
