I tried to install Darwin-x86 on my AOpen PIII machine today. The boot CD won't detect my Western Digital hard drive. I have 2 hard drives in the machine, and neither are detected. WD is a common hard drive. I guess Apple doesn't intend to have Darwin-x86 running on just any x86 computer. That's too bad. I think they could get a lot more mileage on the road to desktop dominance if they would build their OS to run on a wide variety of x86 based machines. They don't have to build all the drivers, the open source community will do that. Just get it out there. Besides, I'm tired of buying Apple products (made in China) and dealing with Applecare. I would rather build my own machine so I don't have to send my entire machine in for service. I don't like that. Apple has cool stuff, but they are not _that_ good.
