Dave sent us this cool link to some QuickTime showing a Dell laptop running OS X. Now, is this important? Probably not. It’s probably just somebody’s reskinned Powerbook. However, if this is what we think it is, it means that Intel-tasticness is even now leaking into the wild. UPDATE – Getting all kinds of moodiness from you all re: this. I’m going to agree that it’s probably a VNC connection to a remote Mac. Damn you, hoaxists! UPDATE II – Could be a pre-release or developer Intel leak.
“According to reports, Apple s bundled iLife applications, major selling points for the Mac operating system, are already Intel-native and run at full speed… Given Apple s experiences with software piracy, particularly the rampant software piracy that spread developer builds of Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger all over the Internet this past spring, Apple s management from the top down knows full well that this developer preview will be in the hands of every kid with a cable modem within days of its release. Most of them will be able to install it on their own computers and run it and the full suite of iLife 05 applications at full speed, and run most existing Mac software in translation. As a result, Apple will give thousands, possibly millions, of people a taste of Mac OS X running full speed on their own PCs. Apple s giving their potential future customers a free taste, that s what they re doing. It s a try-before-you-buy deal.”
