set OS X free - license out OS X part 1

August 5th, 2009 | by admin |

Licensing out OS X has been a fairly big discussion and via my last video it sparked up yet again. This is an addition to my previous series with new information and outlook.

I have a series of links that accompany the video as follows:

For the section on clones, these articles explain the true problems of Apple as the clones were only a very small part of its demise. Apple suffered from product recalls and inventory/production management. Another variable that many miss is that Apple made 11.5 Billion in total annual sales just as the clone program started very late 1994.

Here is the 11.5 billion links:

    Because Apple will be stubbornly against this idea forever, the only hope is that Linux will continue to develop until they reach the same point that Apple has reached.

    Actually all OEMs design their own hardware use just like Apple. All take the time to decide what parts and configurations work best.

    Apple does not make the own hardware anymore. They design it, but that has to do with ergonomics, not performance. There would be no difference actually running on an authorized OEM vs Apple hardware, its architecture is the same. The only comparison to make is the life expectancy of the hardware, like how long does a Dell hard drive last vs Apples

    My question is, that If Apple opens up OS X to OEM’s, what would that do to the performance of the OS?

    Since Apple makes it’s own hardware, what would happen to OSX if it had to be compatible with hundreds of vendors?
