14 DAY TRIAL // The OSx86 Project is back online.
Two days ago, The Osx86 Project was contacted by an Apple representative, regarding some links that had been posted in their forum. The links led to the website of Maxxuss, a hacker who has made some progress in terms of running OS X on generic PC hardware. At the time, The Osx86 Project made it clear that they have always done their best to adhere to copyright laws when it comes to the content present on their site and forums, and after speaking to the Apple lawyer and removing the handful of links that pointed to the hacker's website, the project is back.
The news that Apple had pulled the DMCA on The Osx86 Project has traveled far and wide, and the people who run the site wanted to make things very clear:
"Back in the summer, after Steve announced the Intel transition and the Net was filled with rumors of faked leaks, it became apparent to a few of us that the transition was one that many people would want to discuss. We first started the wiki, then the forum, then the full-fleged news portion of the site. Since that time, we've been recognized as the leader in discussion of all things "OS X on x86" related. This site was not founded to be a "watercooler for hackers" as CNet posited. Instead, it was simply meant to be welcoming Mac community for switchers and experts alike. We think that we've accomplished that goal - a large portion of our forum membership is comprised of new iMac users who have commented on the accepting ethos of our forum."
