Anyone found a review?

Yes, there is and always has been a copy of OSX on the x86 platform. Apple has been developing it alongside their currect Mac editions...I believe it was called project Marklar(sp?). The only way we'll ever see it on x86, however, is if Apple starts tanking, which by their latest earnings, itsn't gonna happen for quite awhile...

Apple ought to release Marklar on dual-opteron and A64 systems. I can't see how apple could object, as they have to buy stuff from IBM anyway, and it would work very nicely for AMD. Besides, all they have to do is have some motherboard-specific drivers, and it wo'nt run on a non-"mac". I, for one, would pay good money for it (I.E. a 3000+ equipped AMD64 box with 256mb of RAM and a 9600 for about a grand)

Why can't they make the transistion to a mainly software company? It looks very much like they are on that track anyway..
It works for Microsoft...
