I hate to say this, but programs ultimately have to be compiled for a specific processor. Emulation is possible if you don't have any competitors breathing down your neck in the performance area.
I'm aware of that. Emulating a completely different platform(that's as complex as PPC) would grind down performance to the point of chuckling, pointing and laughing at the cute sideshow.
Chances are Apple already has beta OS/software that runs on x86. 2006 is the launch date. Think longhorn.
True, but even 10 years ago NeXT, which OSX is based on, could create a single binary, from one set of source code, that ran on the NeXTStep OS running on FOUR different architectures ... HP PA-RISC, Sun SPARC, Intel x86 and Motorola 68k. So for almost all applications using the Cocoa libraries, a recompile would be all that is required.
Half hearted PING!
While it may be true, it is hardly confirmed.
If you want on or off the Mac Ping List, Freepmail me.
Very interesing. I would love to see the breakup of the WinTel monopoly. Is Apple about to cave in? I hope not
