Can someone who has seen one of these developer transition kits give out detailed parts lists. If this is possible, are there any restrictions in the current machine that would prevent us from building one from the parts that are in the developer kit (assuming that they are all available) and booting up OSX on a box that we built ourselves?

A Hackintosh is a non-Apple computer that runs Mac OS X. Having issues with intel Hd 4440. No torrent links or P2P of copyrighted material: We want to avoid legal trouble, so please don't.

I know it has been said that apple is going to try and prevent this, but have they done this in the developer's kits. And if so then how have they done it? From what I have heard they are using a standard bios (not sure what kind of motherboard exactly), standard P4 chips etc. Originally posted by UWSalt: Not going to happen.

I believe someone observed that the setup was a P4 that was somehow mated with Apple's Northbridge. Even if it is just a standard P4 board and chipset (and I honestly can't remember), you'd have to obtain a copy of OS X for x86, which you probably can't get (legally) without getting a developer kit. I guess I forgot to mention, I don't care so much about legality. Think about it more as a 'theoretical' excercise. What I really want to know is what kind of motherboard, and given an apple northbridge (say from another old apple machine, is it even just a chip like htat??) could we build something, possibly with a little soldering. The complete lock to just 'Intel' right now is for the community to grow and get supported. Intel has a complete platform strategy that current AMD (AMD, please create chipsets, this IS holding you back) cannot match.

Years after the transition is complete, Apple will release the 'lock' of Intel only and I'm sure you will get to build your own beige box some day (Apple and Intel working together will get BTX pushed mighty faster) -- it will just take time. The first years of the transition, you will only be able to install OSX on Apple BIOS'd machines. Later, Apple could license out those specs to manufacturer's and you could 'build' your own Apple b/c of the 'approved' hardware. Heck, you could have a thriving community of approved/supported (from Apple), unapproved/community supported (maybe some Apple resources, but still nothing official) stuff. Apple would ONLY do this when their marketshare is seeing some good gains, a lot of applications have been ported to native x86 (fat binaries are nice now, not needed in a few years). If/when Apple grows their marketshare large enough and Intel isn't able to give them a price break they like, then Apple could move to someone else for their chips.

Steve Jobs was pretty clear he didn't want the dev kits 'floating around' after they are supposed to be returned. I have a feeling that includes that particular OS build as well as the hardware. Since developers are renting the systems from Apple, I have a feeling there is something that identifies each OS install so it can be tracked directly back to the developer. What I mean is, even though I think it's likely the systems are pretty much standard PC hardware at this point in time, getting a copy of the OS will probably be impossible without someone getting an angry letter from Apple legal, at minimum. Edit: Perhaps if you never connected to the internet, nobody would know? Unless the OS install disc itself is tied to a hardware ID or something. Shit, I don't know.
