I;ve read just about enough of these OS X on x86 bs. I'm truely tired of people claiming that this would be a good move for apple. Lets think about this for a moment. x86 a architecture that was originally developed in what 1979? I would like anyone who can name something that was built in 1979 and is still considered top of the line today please do. x86 has had a good run but now it's time for it to step aside for something alittle more modern. It seams many of you complain about he Ghz and how AMD is better then intel yada yada yada.... You'd think after over 15-20 years they would be able to make speed improvements. It's common sense. If they couldn't then they wouldn't be around now. Why is everyone surprised when intel and AMD break the 2 ghz and 3ghz barrier. They will hit a wall sooner rather then later
Now lets talk about PowerPC an architecture formed in 1992 a mear 10 years old. How long did it take for Intel to break the Ghz barrier and how long did it take moto and ibm? The powerPC is just coming into it's own. SO why i ask would Apple jump ship to x86? It doesn't make sense, Jump from a up and coming architecture to a dying one? Yeah the dying one looks great now but how will it look in a year or 2.
When microsoft does have to change architectures, and they will, they are going to have to all kinds of problems doing so. We're ahead of the game Apple already did it and it ran fairly smoothly. Infact we went through 2 transitions the migration to powerpc and the migration to OS X so Apple is a company for the future they are ahead of the game. In a few years when all the big names(Dell, Microsoft, Hpaq....) start transitioning they are going to be at a week point and thats when apple will look like the brightest solution. And one more thing. just a question. How long will it be before windows is unix based???? because i think then there is grounds for a lawsuit. correct me if i am wrong
