I apologize in advance for the long post; it is necessary.
I am attempting to give more direct information about what you will likely conclude; is a roadmap for where Apple is taking OS X.
DARWIN is named for Charles Darwin. He was known as the guy who brought us evolution theory.
DARWIN is an open source product that Apple has been creating via "Open Source for years. It's purpose has always been about creating an OS X like experience on non apple computers. There is no refuting this. Check out how long this has been going on here. and I will write down the URL here as well because I want everyone to see that this is APPLE'S puppy; not anyone else. It's part of the site map for APPLE. http://www.opensource.apple.com/darwinsource/
Ok, that being said, the following webpage used to solely explain Apples development of an O.S. named Darwin. It was/and is open source so as not to create to much thunder. You can see it here. Again, notice the URL when this page comes up. It's APPLE'S.
Last year, this Apple website was directly making Darwin as an "experiment" to see if they could provide a "open source" solution to folks who wanted OS X on a P.C.
At this time; unlike last year, it doesn't work so hard to misdirect you to thinking it's just an experiment. In a year, it has become a very blatant instruction guide on how to get OS X to work on a P.C.
Also, consider that there now is purportedly a "Hack" that makes OS X Leopard install just fine on a P.C. (Nelson posted it just a few days ago here) How do you think it was possible that in 2 or 3 days, a person could get Leopard to work on a P.C. ?
I guarantee this person was WELL VERSED in Darwin.
It's hard for me to see how can one conclude that Apple is not intending to eventually market either a straight version of Leopard on a P.C. or completely accurate facsimile called Darwin?
For Pete's sake, the whole O.S. what rebuilt to run on Intel chips! This was one of many steps pointing out the "roadmap" or "Evolution" named DARWIN has created an new species of the OS X Leopard.
Please all, tell me your thoughts.
Personally, I think it's wonderful! Finally some real head to head competition may arise!
