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.
 
no, but being able to have a dual boot mac/windows on an Apple box down the pipe will be nice
 
Thanks for referring me to an "it". Oh wait..you meant the article. Macs are used for their software. That's it. I use both and in general the the PC smokes the ass off a Mac. These is no question about that. So why not take their OS and software and use it on a cheaper computer that more people can afford. I don't like PCs by the way.
Benton..just out of curiousity..why would you want to use windows on a mac? What software is that good that isn't available on the mac? Just wondering because I use both and other than the ease of obtaining pirated software for the PC (which isn't really true because I do have access to any Apple software that I may need to use for backup or educational reasons:)) the PC is utterly useless. The only software I couldn't use before was ParticleIllusion which is now available for the Mac.
 
I love the idea of having a homebuilt PC that is designed for video editing and runs FCP.

That's the kind of thing I dream about.
