 * Delete Neologism. --Mr. L e fty Talk to me! 17:31, 20 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete I was going to say keep as a real word commonly used as defined, but low Google hits and the fact that it is a neologism means I vote delete. M1ss1ontom a rs2k4 (T 17:40, 20 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment. I think you mean your opinion is to delete. This is not a vote and votes are unwelcome. Thanks. ➨  Я Є  DVERS  21:14, 20 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment. Eh...I guess. Mostly I was using "vote" colloquially to mean "what I think should be done". --M1ss1ontom a rs2k4 (T 00:44, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

 * Don't Delete I was looking for info on what the term hackintosh means, and I find that the entry is needed. However, it is shabby in its current state, and needs a rewrite. I'll change it somewhat. But the point is that it's useful if someone ever wants to know what a hackintosh is. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Ahnaqsh (talk • contribs).
 * Merge into a Trivia section on Mac OS X. It's not worthy of its own article, but a mention as trivia on the OS X page is certainly fine. ··· 日本穣 ? · Talk to Nihonjo e  02:46, 22 June 2006 (UTC)
 * If there were sources proving that "Hackintosh" was commonly used to referred to hacked copies of Mac OS X running on non-Apple hardware. However the author provided no sources. AlistairMcMillan 19:12, 22 June 2006 (UTC)


 * Delete. More worthy of Urban Dictionary. --GunnarRene 01:18, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Don't Delete This term was created and used by the people who orginal hacked the OSX x86 edition to work on other PCs as well as users who know use their creations. Icanstillcu 14:44, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Please read WP:VERIFY. AlistairMcMillan 17:48, 23 June 2006 (UTC)


 * Don't Delete Probably this article should be merged with http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OSx86, since it's related. If you look here: http://www.osx86project.org, you find a forum with more than 130'000 posts and 38'000 members (as of June 2006). Due to the size of this "Hackintosh"-community, these Wikipedia-entries should be preserved. --asklucas 04:37, 25 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Except they don't use the term Hackintosh. They use the term OSx86. AlistairMcMillan 04:42, 25 June 2006 (UTC)
