This isn’t any vmware crap… Ive got the real deal installed and running natively on my TR2A. We dont have SSE3 on our little guys, so no rosetta (meaning no itunes or any ppc apps), but everything else works. Im posting from Deer Park Alpha 2 (FireFox for OS X x86).
Speed it amazing, much better than I expected given I only have 512mb ram.
Anyone else running OS X?

Did you have to do anything special or did it just install?

how about ability to use standard OSX apps? problem?
Also any issue with the WIFI adaptor? fully compatible yet?
It would be great if it’s able to use the widescreen driver. From the posted picture it’s all not optimized yet

I love them saying that they hope the user has a copy of the OS legally and then giving instructions on how to violate the user agreement.
