14 DAY TRIAL // Other World Computing will introduce technology to run Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger on old PowerMacs, laptops and iMacs.
With the help of attorney and Mac geek Ryan Rempel, Other World Computing is able to offer XPostFacto, an application that allows users of certain unsupported Macintosh computers to run Mac OS X , OS X Server and Darwin. The latest version, XPostFacto 4.0, expands the support for 'Legacy' machines to run the latest OS X release, Apple's highly acclaimed OS X 10.4 Tiger.
"A lot of people have some pretty decked-out PowerMac 7300-9600s, and PowerMac G3s never mind the laptops and iMacs that no longer get Apple support. With XPostFacto, many of these systems can run the latest OS X versions and reap the benefits that Apple's modern OS X has to offer.", said Larry O'Connor, president of OWC.
"Macs last an amazingly long time and XPostFacto helps them go that much longer, even allowing models built 10 years ago to continue to take advantage of Apple's latest and greatest OS.
Some Features of XPostFacto 4.0
