  • >If Apple has been working all of this time on a way to transfer their Apps over to the Pentium I would imagine they have at least given thought to transferring Windows only applications to this new Intel version of Tiger No, no, no. It's one thing to re-target your own os to a new cpu, it's another thing entirely to proxy a program to a new operating system. The diffferences between cpus is relatively minor compared to the system APIs for an os. I don't expect it. (Unless they've been secretly enhancing Wine/CodeWeavers code for the past few years and that's what took so long to make the transfer to intel chips.)

    Reality Shock: Intel in Macs
  • Maybe the real reason that Apple wants to change cpus is that if OSX will run on Intel chips it will also run on AMD cpus. Then Apple gets ~two~ suppliers competing for their business. And maybe they hope the AMD will (in a year or so) come out with a chip with an AltiVec/Velocity like part built-in.
