Hi, guys. Sry if I post in the wrong section. I heard a rumor that Tiger is now available for x86 from this site [HTML]http://macdailynews.com/index.php/weblog/comments/6012/[/HTML]A lot of people has tried to download it from p2p network but most of them found that it's completely fake from this site [HTML]http://tech-recipes.com/apple_mac_tips916.html[/HTML]

Is this rumor true, is there any real Tiger that can run on x86 machine?

Thanks a lot guys.

Yes, but you can only get it as a bundle package with this bridge I'm selling. You interested?

You want Tiger on x86? Locate an old copy of OpenStep/NeXTStep.

Yes it's true. Steve jobs did show Mac OS X running on x86 during the WWDC keynote.

Unless you've been leaving under a rock for the past week, Apple is switching to x86.
So, yes it's true, Mac OS X runs on x86. But you won't likely find it anywhere before it's
officially released with the first x86 Macs next year.

To add to the serious answer, just because it runs on x86 doesn't mean it'll run on any x86. It's not like there are just x86 computers and PowerPC computers and otherwise there are no differences at all.
