Install MAC OS X on Intel PC

Not ubuntu fault that the best AV software producers don't make compatible products. Its a catch 22 that people like you feed: no one get linux because it does not have the best stuff, the best stuff producers don't get linux because no one gets linux. The cycle closes off the market and forces everyone to buy Windows and mac instead.

Historically the best AV was done on a SGI and Sun. I wonder if I can get Maya on Linux, oh I can! I wonder what Pixar and Dreamworks use, oh Linux!

The best multimedia CAN be done on a Mac but is NOT necessarily DONE on a Mac. I think overall a mac is better and the hardware, if you buy a Mac box is equal to what you get with the best mainboard for PC, say like a SuperMicro mainboard equivelant...not that i keep up with hardware too much any more. And for OS X 3D software has no advantage. It really boils down to preference, i would use os x in a production environment if i had the money to buy turn key boxes otherwise your just playing with yourself, in a way. If you build it yourself...meh, not worth the trouble if you ask me.

Then to go out and buy a new video card and the time involved to get it to run doesnt seem logical. Not if you can use Linux or Windows to do the same exact thing, which you can. Plus play games to boot....Then if you are not running in al 64 bit, doesnt look like he is then it definatley isnt worth the trouble.

Now the real difference comes in if you have the money to buy a high end mac or macs for production but to build it and limit yourself in hardware choices is kind of stupid, well stupid is a hard word but it isnt really practical. Big budget operation would just shell out the cash for turn keys macs either way and not think about it. Time troubleshooting is time wasted and most likely Win 7 still crashes more often but then mixing hardware to run os x probably no more stable than windows. He can just as easily have looked for an old copy of BeOS for that matter too because it would do the same thing, just run some programs.

Could be some fun in getting it to run but if that is the case then it is, imo, the same as trying to get Linux to run or something like it. Except you wont be editing multimedia with Linux except, as has been mentioned Maya and maybe one or two other programs. But everyone is different.:shrug:

 

They're using Linux in their clusters -- their "rednerfarms". That has nothing to do with their actual interface with the product. All major CGI development requires a farm to do the unique rendering which is a HEAVY load which slows development and would take forever to do on a single machine. They've simply outsourced the rendering process to Linux kernels which can easily have simple software built on top of them.

The interfacing systems are undoubtedly still Mac.

 

Lets take a look shalt we, do you see any macs?

There is no way to tell? Are you saying because there were no bright white monitors...there were no Macs? Fanboy.

 

So sure a white monitor would be a dead giveaway but we don't even need that. when you see the monitors up close you notice the layouts of the GUI are not Mac. You can see the computer cases in some instances as well and they aren't macs.

Your the one defending a corporation, not me, fanboy.

 

Well let me go out on a limb here...Pixar studios probably uses a mix of Pixar computers and Mac computers. Seeing as they were once a computer hardware company which was purchased by Apple.

In any case they use in large Mac OSX for much of their front end work and even office work. Their backend SGI's are Xeon servers...about 200 of them, and they're running a custom render farm software. Even then it probably doesn't matter as much since they designed their own rendering software, and therefore can port it anywhere they want.

Before they were purchased by Apple, I think they used Sun computers.

 

I don't think pixar makes there own computer hardware.

Here we had a tour and I didn't see any macs! More so "office work" totally destroys your claim that high end work gets done on these things, I can totally believe office work, any yuppie chimp can do office work on a mac, probably the only computer they can work on because of how stupid they are.

SGI is dead, sad really, I loved the O2, it was such a cute and fun little computer. But that the whole point when some one get serious they don't stick with someone else proprietary software and hardware (mac OS) they make or modify it and run it on specially crafted unix or linux based operating systems and mixed hardware ad hoc supercomputers. So your claim that Macs are were serious business gets done is BS, even Steve Jobs owned Pixar does not use Mac's, oh wait except maybe for office work, sure and next we should ask what kind of brooms they use to sweep!

 

You are outside of reason.

not saying its apple, just saying its funny.

 

He thinking of SGI Onyx. It is\was proprietary abstraction layer, sure people can write their own OS for a single app.

 

oopps, you nailed it there.

 

Honestly I got to agree, I have always had a hankering for a watch phone as well but just don't have the money (also I want a droid one, and there are no droid watch phones out yet) something like leela's wrist communicator in futurama, I would not be surprised if it ended up becoming a style accessory in the future.

 

Why would you install OS X onto a pc? That's like throwing a gold bar into the ocean.

Enjoy the cage.

 

The amount of probablies in his arguement is pathetic.

Mac's stink, its a given fact. Arguing that a Mac is even an ethical, let alone fully functional computer is like trying to argue that the earth is flat.

 

i really don't MAC got anything more superior than Windows?
Can anyone tell me?

 

Just wondering how MAC OS handles the 5 button mice. I found MAC OS with its single button mouse frustrating or have they finally gone forward from that?
