Yeah, that's what the second article stated. Already, OSX has been ported to Intel. And Intel is supposedly whipping IBM/Motorola's butt these days with processor speed.
I imagine with this change, a lot of Mac specialists will be...um...looking to re-certify themselves...
This could, ultimately, spell a problem for Windows, though. But Apple's going to have to act quickly because the next Windows, called Longhorn, is due out at the end of 2006.
Still, it'd be cool to see a Mac OS boot up on a Wintel machine.
By the way, anyone know of any screenshots out there on the Internet that shows what the Longhorn GUI will look like?
