Al parecer, ya circulan por la red copias de MacOS X Tiger (10.4.1) que puede correr en máquinas con chips Pentiums standads asi como placas y chips gráficos Intel bastante genéricos. Correspondería a la versión que Steve Jobs presentó a los desarrolladores en la última KeyNote. Se comenta que puede ser una "estrategia" (¿?) de Apple, para que mucha gente haga de "beta-tester", y al mismo tiempo recoger las impresiones de futuros y potenciales usuarios.
De todas maneras, los únicos programas que funcionarán (de momento) eficientemente y de forma nativa serán la aplicaciones "iLife 2005" de Apple (parece ser que "ya" son "Intel-ready"). Otros programas no optimizados para Intel, podrían funcionar (de momento) a través del traductor "Roseta". Por otra parte, esta versión no podrá actualizarse directamente, por lo que su vida útil no será muy larga. Habrá que ver si las sucesivas versiones son filtradas "tan fácilmente".
Os incluyo un resumen (publicado en MacDaily News) y también un link al articulo original completo (publicado en The Shape of Days):

Report: Apple Mac OS X 10.4.1 for Intel hits piracy sites
Saturday, June 11, 2005 - 12:14 PM EST
"There is nothing at all that prevents the version of Mac OS X that runs on the developer transition machines from running on any PC with compatible components," Jeff Harrell writes for The Shape of Days. "The Intel-based Power Macintoshes that Apple is showing at their developer conference are based on an Intel motherboard, generic Intel graphics and off-the-shelf Pentium 4 CPUs... I estimate that we’re down to a matter of hours before Mac OS X 10.4.1 for Intel hardware is available for download on Internet software piracy sites and peer-to-peer piracy networks. (Update: A reader who for obvious reasons wishes to remain anonymous just demonstrated to me that the software is, in fact, already available on Internet software piracy sites.) If I can think through this stuff, Apple’s management can think through this stuff. This is the most awe-inspiring stealth marketing move I’ve ever seen."
"According to reports, Apple’s bundled iLife applications, major selling points for the Mac operating system, are already Intel-native and run at full speed... Given Apple’s experiences with software piracy, particularly the rampant software piracy that spread developer builds of Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger all over the Internet this past spring, Apple’s management from the top down knows full well that this developer preview will be in the hands of every kid with a cable modem within days of its release. Most of them will be able to install it on their own computers and run it and the full suite of iLife ’05 applications at full speed, and run most existing Mac software in translation. As a result, Apple will give thousands, possibly millions, of people a taste of Mac OS X running full speed on their own PCs. Apple’s giving their potential future customers a free taste, that’s what they’re doing. It’s a try-before-you-buy deal," Harrell writes.
