Michael Dell is thinking different about the Mac OS.
The founder and chairman of the No. 1 computer maker told Fortune magazine that he would be interested in becoming a switcher himself if the opportunity ever came up.
\"If Apple decides to open the Mac OS to others, we would be happy to offer it to our customers,\" Dell wrote in an e-mail.
It's a hypothetical reply to be sure, but Dell does relish the operating system diversity that his company provides. Dell ships its PCs exclusively with Microsoft Windows but does offer Red Hat Linux as well as Novell's Suse Linux and NetWare in servers and some systems. Dell made a halfhearted attempt to sell Linux laptops at one point but then pulled back after claiming there was no market.
Adding Apple Computer's Mac OS to its repertoire could give Dell's PC customers a more likely alternative to Windows.
An Apple representative declined to comment on the article. A Dell representative confirmed the e-mail but declined to say where Dell would install the OS--PCs, servers or both.

BigMac: i ja kažem, prvo bolja pasta, nego zadnji put, i nižaa temperatura, očito prvi put nisam dobro stegao hladnjake, pa su procesori radili na nižem taktu

Bertone: Rekao sam ti da je kvaliteta izrade loša, ali sam CPU je brži od CPU-a iz MBP 2014/2015,... stavi na njega LinuxMint pa ćeš vidjeti da nije spor

Bertone: Na stranu sad brzina i ispeglenost OS-a ali mom oku je najljepši i najugodniji bio Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger, a nativni Aqua wallpaper mi je i dan danas jedan od nesmetajućih wallpapera.
