Mac OS X on Surface?

---

well none of us exactly know yet, but will the surface be compatible of running OS X? it's a powerful tablet and it probably could handle the graphics and the OS, but it just depends on the processor, so would it?

RT: Definitely no
Pro. Kinda tricky. There will be no drivers for touch screen probably. I don't know if keyboard works on simple USB. Plus, there probably won't be motherboard support, which would kill battery life. Oh. Surface uses UEFI. Mac OS X also uses UEFI. But Surface UEFI is lockdown, so it would be hard to trick Mac OS X into thinking that Surface is a Mac. In addition, installing Mac OS X in most cases is illegal. (Unless you are an Apple Engineer). Simple answer is no.

ok then i get it, well then, itll be fine now. Thanks for ur help

you never know what may happen when it comes out.

As a Macbook Pro owner, I have to ask: why in heck would you want that bloated, tacky-ass OSX on Microsoft's beautiful tablet with its magnificent, modern UI?

Once Windows 8 tablets start shipping, I'm ditching Apple forever. Sold off my iPhone for a WP7 last year (recently upgraded to a Titan II, also), sold my iPad a month ago (thank god, right before Apple announced they were ****ing over iPad 1 owners), and I'm looking forward to ditching my Macbook Pro, primarily because of OSX and its ugly, tacky, skewmorphism bull****.

+1, I keep wondering why people want to be able to run OSX/Android on a Microsoft tablet... PLEASE BUY AN iPAD OR ANDROID TABLET IF YOU PREFER THAT OS.

ya'll are right, i'm running windows 8 on my notebook and it is the best UI i have experienced, although there is a few bugs right now, below is my video on windows 8

Just need some more apps. Is MS accepting apps already? I want a google reader and nothing until now..

I think there already was one a few years ago, I think it was called a modbook pro.

Modbook is actually coming out with a new model in the fall
