There are (legal) Mac OS X users using Opteron now? I thought Macs were Intel-only, and already supported by Darwin. On the other hand, this may help with those patching Mac OS X to run on non-Macs (whether or not this is legal on depends where you live and how much you spend on your lawyers).

What an odd thing to say... ,:|

Anyway, lets hope that either Woodcrest/Conroe live up to the hype or Apple reconsiders its exclusive deal with Intel in the future.Edited 2006-05-27 23:57 Sat, 27 May 2006 23:56:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (PowerMacX) Comments http://www.osnews.com/thread?128572 http://www.osnews.com/thread?128572 Cool.

This still doesn't make sense. GNU/Darwin is free for anyone, not just OS X users.
