Yes on the first half, and a very silly statement in the second hals.

What they had before the Intel Macs was software emulation. Now they have "virtualization" (in the form of VMware Fusion, Parallels, and others).

Now shock me and admit you don't know the difference between "emulation" and "virtualization".

Actually I do know quite a bit about it, but if you read for understanding the response I was making was about the fact that windows could run on a Mac pre-Intel proc days.

And most with a reasonable understanding would understand that. But for those needing a lesson, well I can take you to school on virtualization. But then that’s outside this issue...you’re wanting to play gotcha is jsut silly.

Actually after re-reading my statements I see you don’t understand English.

Let me disect it for you.

I’m pretty sure Mac had emulation before Intel. -> I’m saying I am pretty confident that Mac was able to emulate the hardware for Windows to run on a Mac before adopting the Intel platform.

Next sentence. It just runs better on Intel...now this is where you have to think and realize the post I was referring to...this means It (Windows) runs better on Intel. In other words on Intel hardware (you wanted to read that as emulated Intel). But anyone with knowledge of Emulation would realize you don’t need to emulate the hardware if the hardware is already the proper hardware. So your desire to play gotcha makes you look like a fool.
