THIS IS A BRILLIANT IDEA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mac developers should.... buy Linux like Red Hat or Mandrake, and use Mac
OSX.... WITH Linux on... PC!!!!!!!!!
Since both systems are based on Unix, there would be not major problem to
adapt Mac OS for PC type of hardware.
It would be possible to use Linux kernel as a base for MAC OS
instead of xwin or KDS or Gnome. And than, of course, all MAC applications
and games would run and M$... be afraid, be very afraid! ;-P
Other way would be adapt some ideas from Linux and utilize them for PC
platform and use full MAC OS system on PC kicking M$ right is ass.
Initially, could be hard because so many drivers but... I would start only
with NVIDIA, Creative Labs, VIA and SIS systems. Others would have to
follow. ;-P
Starting price could be $10! That's right. Fight would be hard initially
but latter prices would be very competitive and MAC would keep M$ on their
toes.
That may cause MAC hardware to collapse but... IMHO, what is stopping MAC OS
to go further on the market is their hardware prices. OS system is still the
best in the world!
Just adapt it for main stream and MAC version, if some significant hardware
are superior than PC, keep them and further develop.

If you like an idea, here who I'm. I'm the bloody spammer for my group,
FLAME.
If Jobs will like an idea, send me new MAC every year, OK? I'm running my
studio on
G3 300 MHz ;-(
And... support my FLAME! ;-P
Jeez, I'm good!!!!!!!!! ;-P And. modest as well!!!!!!
Below is an original text of FLAME spam. ;-P

big wave of international interest - especially in USA and UK. They scored
their first deal in a very competitive British market - with Session

Mr. Underhill
that with Apple making both hardware and software, you get better
integration. Since Micro$oft makes the software and about 10,000 different
manufacturers make the hardware, it is a miracle that they work as well as
they do together.
Running the MacOS on inferior hardware would detract from the "experience"
and make it a nightmare for integration.
Linux? Why? Apple already has an extremely stable microkernel and kernel
to work with.

keep your brillant ideas for you and instead of polluting usenet start
learing what unix really is. it's not another graphical user interface

Go to <http://www.sourceforge.net/> and search for 'darwin.' You'll see at
least two x86 port projects. Yay open source! :-)
There's also at least one project to make an aqua-like interface, available
for free.
There's tremendous work being done to, for instance, make a MacOS X native
version of GTK and other Linux APIs. Such work can only yield better stuff
for Mac users everywhere. Give it a look.

inchoherent. I'd be interested in debating this but you need to clarify
your statements.
You can take programming conecpts from Linux and apply them to Windows
development. Besides MacOSX is already based on BSD UNIX... why change?
The whole point of the Mac is that you get an OS tailored for one small
set of hardware. This creates the great system that we all know and
enjoy.
Sure it would be possible to use "Linux kernel" for MacOSX but as I
said, why? The Mach Kernel with a BSD subsystem is working very well.
Applications would need to be completely rewriten from scratch and
that's not going to happen.
The argument to switch to Intel has been made and shot down many times
before and made much better.
