As a contestant of the WindowsOnMac contest has submitted — Windows XP on a Mac photos.
While it hasn’t been confirmed that such is a legitimate hack, it seems odd to me that there is a contest for people to install Windows on a Mac, and not Mac on a Windows. I think many would argue that the counter parts of PC hardware compared to Mac hardware are much better (in terms of $/speed). Then why would there be the need to run Windows and Mac on a Macintosh? Why not run Windows and Mac on PC since it is evidently faster?
The OSX86, run Mac OSX on a PC, has been going on for the last year. Not a single straight-forward working hack has been released. And how long has WindowsOnMac been running? 2 months.
The lucky bum who cracked this is getting $12,000, donated by supporters. I would really like to see Mac OSX run on my PC and if there was such a contest, I would definitely contribute to the prize.
People have tried to do it the other way around, but it breaks copyright law. there’s even a poem inside OSX about it
I guess changing the core files of OS X is against the law, but wouldn’t the contestants of WindowsOnMac have to do the same to Windows XP?
I’m pretty sure it works the same both ways with those laws…
