@Frondon
Hi, sorry for addressing this at you Frondon, but you seem to be one of the best informed of the MOS crowd......
Reading through bbrvs post, something occured to me, isn't this quote;
We need a bootable bundled distro and Mac-on-Linux.
a bit dangerous considering Apple's well known zeal for suing and c-and-d'ing ANYONE who messes with their IP / Licences / Secrets? Mac-On-Linux is technically legal on Apple hardware running Linux, but not on none Apple hardware (AOne has this problem too, so i'm not being biased)
@Mountain_Myst
If you still don't belive that clean-room API clones can be made, what about Mono, the open source clone of Microsoft's .NET strategy? Or the cloned implementation if the IBM-PC BIOS without which no-one but IBM would be making PC's (Ever wonder where the term PC-Clone came from?)
How can you say that Wine is not an emulator.
Heh, The fact that WINE is a recursive acronym for "WINE Is Not an Emulator" should give some people a clue. Maybe not though..........
Just my $0.02
