Hi, Saw this posted at <http://www.isohunt.com/>:
___________________________________ This is dramatic. It's been joked that hell will freeze over before apple will run on IBM compatible / Intel pc's, <http://www.apple.com/pr/library/2005/jun/06intel.html> but it happened. <http://news.google.com/news?num=25&hl=en&lr=&c2coff=1&tab=wn&ie=UTF-8&q=apple+x86+intel&btnG=Search+News> This will mean faster chips and lower cost for macs, and this is good. We will have high performance linux on pc servers and slickly usable macs on pc desktop. This is perhaps the biggest move by Apple since OSX or the iTMS/iPods, and is probably the reason they rewrote the OS to run on Darwin in OSX (so it can compile to multiple cpus). Perhaps MacOS will finally be ready for the masses, if they make the PPC -> Intel app porting as easy as advertised and Windows app -> IntelMac porting easy too. I look forward to it, OSX (especially Tiger) certainly has qualities to make Windows nervous. And then there's Debian releasing a new version. <http://www.debian.org/News/2005/20050606> Is it armageddon yet? ___________________________________ OK, because Debian releases a new version, doesn't mean the devil will go to work on ice skates :-), but apple will run on IBM compatibles? -- Chris. ====== Hiroshima '45, Chernobyl '86, Windows 95 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
