Hmm.. this could mean any number of things. But it is strange nonetheless.

Like someone else said, OS X on Dells would be the Macpocalypse.

Pretty easy explanation - Dell makes printers too, printers that can be used on Mac OS X.

That's what I thought too. But why do the OSX downloads appear with some systems and not with others?

Engadget should check the facts instead of trying to get lots of hits from half baked info.

There are four downloads under this Mac section. Three are EXE files not for the Mac so that is likely database or web design error and the fourth one is a Mac printer driver for the 1815 laser printer.

End of the story.
