As was to be expected, Apple's legal team got busy concerning the OSx86 Project. Just days after OSX 10.4.4 for Intel got cracked, the project closed down its forum with the following notice: "We're sorry to report that despite our best efforts, the OSx86 Project has been served with a DMCA violation notice. The forum will be unavailable while we evaluate its contents to remove any violations present. We thank you for your patience in this matter."

No, I'm just pointing out that while that mneeting was unfruitful for Jobs as far as getting Linu=s Torvalds to come work for Apple it did show Steve once again how well opensource could work for him without him needing to do much of anything.

PS: Speaking of MacOS X server, isn't interesting that it wasn't until its final release that the OS was prepared for PPC? The first few devloper releases as far back as 2000 were still mostly X86 specific. Hmmmm...

Meanwhile Steve Jobs has that famous meeting with Linus Torvalds, you know, that well known open sourceGPL guy who founded the Linux Kernel all the kids are talking about? Strangely nothing ever comes of the meeting, yet in two years the first edition of Darwin is released as MacOS X Server 1.0 and in two more years you see the establishment of the OpenDarwin project.
Interesting theory, but you're forgetting the fact that Darwin is based on FreeBSD and Mach, not Linux.
