| 361171 | 2005-06-06 23:37:00 | Now that it is fact, I reckon Apple will go straight to 64-bit as competition there is almost non-existent - MS is bogged down with Longhorn and Windows 64-bit supports less hardware and has less 64-bit ready software that either Linux or *BSD. And most good folk have never heard of Linux or *BSD, even those two platforms are the most mature common 64-bit OSs around. I don't know how Apple is going to lock the hardware though to keep it closed. |

| 361174 | 2005-06-07 05:27:00 | Who's to say that they'd use Intel x86 chips? They're much more likely just to have intel do the powerpc chips like what they use already. They're a chip manufacturer, they don't just have to make x86 chips. Jobs then confirmed a long-held belief that Apple was working on an Intel-compatible version of Mac OS X that some have termed “Marklar.” Mac OS X has been “leading a secret double life” for the past five years, said Jobs. “So today for the first time, I can confirm the rumors that every release of Mac OS X has been compiled for PowerPC and Intel. This has been going on for the last five years.” Jobs demonstrated a version of Mac OS X running on a 3.6GHz Pentium 4-processor equipped system, running a build of Mac OS X v10.4.1. He showed Dashboard widgets, Spotlight, iCal, Apple’s Mail, Safari and iPhoto all working on the Intel-based system. The system itself was not revealed. www.macworld.com |

| 361175 | 2005-06-07 21:06:00 | Could be interesting, Mac can dual boot with Linux no problem, in 12 months a new Mac will be able to boot Windows too. Apple will not encourage it but will not stop it either. A triple boot computer anyone. ;) Using a Mac is the whole deal with an OS that is optimized for the hardware, that will not change. Neither will the locked down OS and security. Mac OSX will not be running on any old PC box either. :badpc: |

| 361176 | 2005-06-07 22:19:00 | I'm quite liking the idea if it goes where I think it might go. There are people out there that aren't buying a Mac because it doesn't run Windows. There are also people out there not running OS X purely because they don't want to buy apple hardware. It could be win-win. Though of course there is also the possibility that it could be the beginning of the end of apple, but I doubt that very much. | Jeremy (1197) | ||
| 361177 | 2005-06-08 06:39:00 | well i'll be happy when I have Mac.OSX.x86.cd.1-3.torrent ;) | Edward (31) | ||
| 361178 | 2005-06-08 10:43:00 | I see they're locking it to their own apple hardware, well to begin with atleast but most likely forever. | Jeremy (1197) | ||
| 361179 | 2005-06-08 11:05:00 | I see they're locking it to their own apple hardware, well to begin with atleast but most likely forever. well they are a hardware company! |

| 361180 | 2005-06-08 11:08:00 | Are they? What hardware do they make? Cpu's,ram,harddrives,video cards,optical drives? Any of the above? Anything at all that goes inside a computer? Kinda funny how so many of them ibooks are manufactured in a plant owned by ECS..... |
