At this point in the MAC's evolution they have been using PC hardware for years, pci cards, Serial ATA and IDE ATA drives and the like...I think even memory was the same. The only difference was the outside form and the motherboard and CPU. This is not very "technilogically" significant but it is a bit "socially" significant.

I just want to know when I can buy the OS alone for my PC at home. There have been indications that this would not be possible but man o man do I want it to be. I love the new OS X (I'm a unix guy) and while XP is pretty good if I could run OS X instead I would be very happy.

OS X on my T41...that'd be great too.
