Well, they don't actually produce the hard drives and the memory, if that's what you mean. This is no different from Dell or HP, who are also considered hardware companies.

As a matter of fact, 'hardware company' is not the right term to describe Apple or Dell. I'm not sure of the correct term for them, but a hardware manufacturer would be a company like nVIDIA or VIA.

So, in that sense, Apple is not a hardware company, but still relies on the sales of its computers, rather than on their operating system.

What about motherboards ? Isn't the motherboard a crucial part in a computer who makes the apple motherboards ?


Anyways i tend to think it would be suicide for apple right now.  


Maybe we just need to get quartz and aqua into Linux ?

yeah not a bad idea

would it be possible to have a cocoa compiler in linux

choasforages:
then get  hacking on display pdf. display ghostscript has already been done with the gnustep project. and since aqua is based on openstep, it shouldn't be too hard to get a aqua run alike with binary compatiblity running on ppc darwin. besides, that would be the first step to freeing aqua

Or better yet: just use Mac OS X.

There would be no point in porting quartz, anyway, (not counting the fact that quartz emulation would be as unpractical as WINE) because applications compiled for OS X PPC would still not run on Linux x86. And no one has ever been able to write a good PPC emulator up to now.
