Apple Intel Illegal Clone
« on: May 15, 2006, 08:24:42 AM »
Is it possible for a PC vendor to buy the license from Apple in the future?

From Inquirer:

The latest thing is a "PowerPC G6 Macintosh", an "Apple G6 Macintosh-Clone Computer" with a 3.8GHz Pentium 4. These come with shedloads of OSx86 compatible hardware, and pre-loaded with something called a "Mac OSX-86 Apple MacOS X Tiger 10.4.3".
The beasts are being made in China and South America, but unlike the real Apple machines, these clones will cost you only $500.
The clones were spotted by some of the OSX86 project members .

Just goes to show that the Mac platform is in a very healthy state right now.

Except that the Mac is no longer a Mac.  It's an x86 box running a unix varient with a bundled Mac emulator.  Those things existed over 10 years ago.

If you want to get technical... The current line of Macs are NeXT boxes with a new user interface and MacOS compatible API layer.

An approach that the Amiga should have taken if the parent companies actually wanted it to survive.
