To emulate it, you would need to recreate Quartz, Quartz extreme, apple web kit, cocoa libraries designed for os X, etc. In fact it would be like writing a more complicated next Emulator. Aside from that, Apple would probably file a lawsuit. Just do the sensible thing and buy a Macintosh if you want Mac OS X. I use Mac OS X as a client and have a freebsd server for my websites. It makes a great combination. On Tuesday, July 29, 2003, at 07:33 PM, Rod Person wrote: > Today I went to an Adobe seminar. All demos where done on OS X.
