Last week we released our latest product and for the most part it has
been a success.
Although I am getting some weird errors on certain machines. In the
error report I capture information about the users computer. For these
really weird errors, the model returns as a Macintosh and the
processor returns as Intel Pentium.
Today I got my 4th e-mail and the answer was right there in the OS
Version "Mac OS X Leopard 10.5.1 by OSX86.Türk team (9B18)"
Certainly not a genuine Mac!
So it would seem that Pystar are not alone in selling clones,
especially as all these customers are in Europe.
I guess my question is, does anyone know how widespread this is, and
are we now facing the next unsanity crisis (especially since I heard
unsanity are closing down)?
Sounds like these guys are running a hacked OS X that runs on relatively
generic PC hardware.
Check out the term "hackintosh" and you'll find a few articles
I'd reply that on "unaltered copies of OS X this works" as that pretty much
relegates these reports to running on an unsupported configuration
Well ...as the Mac gains popularity it will be targeted to more piracy.
Just as M$ has been for years......
Former red hat now RHEL has legal clones so many free distro's for user's
to choose from
Honestly I don't see why any piracy of Mac nowadays would be a big shock...
The more market gain(share) the bigger the target ;-)
