But that is the whole point of this thread (see first post). It was found that the OS runs faster on Intel 4 x86 CPUs than on Dual G5s - both by people who installed the cracked, leaked x86 developer copy and the developers who received the developer hardware package. Where does this put the G5 which was designed specifically for Mac OS, unlike x86-powered PCs?

I'm simply trying to show you that the "numbers" aren't as black-and-white as many would want them to appear to be. And frankly, who cares.

You're right. We shouldn't care about numbers. Neither should Apple or their most faithful defenders, who are the ones providing these meaningless numbers with much pomp.

Just don't try to screw over the company that is providing that OS for you, even if you run it on your own "whitebox, clone" PC, or on their hardware itself.

I am not running the developer copy and I am not trying to screw anyone over. Only wish the same could be said about Apple. It'll take them more than just proprietary hardware in future to convince customers that their x86 is superior to generic Intels.
