Nice picture Raymond. I have a similar image from the same spot. I assume it is from the top of the rockerfeller centre. An amazing place to take photo's

Do you have a link for this wallpaper, please?

My googling powers are failing me tonight.

Got my this running over the weekend. After falling in love with OS X after getting a Macbook for Uni I had to get it on my desktop. Not being limited to a 13" screen is wonderful!.

Unrelated does anyone have any good dual screen cityscape wallpapers. Been pretty hard to find some good one's. My current is alright but the image is a bit blurred and strangely edited it places for some reason :/

If you really love it, you would pay for the license and development of it like the rest of us and buy the hardware!!! :mad:

I have paid for every copy of OS X from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion and also last year purchased my first Macbook pro (No other laptop in the market can compare IMO)

.

This system is also currently in a modified Power Mac G5. I love OS X and you won't find me pirating it don't worry

How did you get a PowerPC running Mountain Lion?! Or do you mean you put a PC in a G5 chassis?

It's a PC in a G5 chasis. But hay it's Apple branded. I would jump at buying a new Mac desktop if any of them had what I wanted but iMac don't have the graphics power and Mac pro's are not in the price range of a University Student XD

The apple licensing is on both the hardware AND software together, when a person buys the hardware they are entitled to use the software and it subsidies the cost of the software, hence why its a hell lot cheaper.

Many companies have tired to get OS X on there generic hardware and failed, making up all sorts of excuses, but they just get law suited.

Like people have said before they aren't really going to care. I mean it's money from me they wouldn't be getting in the first place (The OS, Mouse, Keyboard, Trackpad).

I also spend enough money in their eco system as it is to not really have any guilt about it (iPod, iPhone, iPad, Macbook, at least £1000 spent over many years on iTunes/Appstore, OS X updates).

But hay as soon as they release a system that is between the iMac and the Mac Pro I'm sure many others including my self will jump at the chance to get something along those lines

Yep it all works great

. Seeing as OS X is actually built to work on Intel architecture it actually benchmarks better in the CPU categories than Windows XD.

Can't say the same for the GPU thou but hay who really play's games on Mac anyhow. As long as Minecraft works
