ARDI makes the only MAC emulator available for the Intel based IBM platform on the market. These people are just writing a method to allow the MacOS for the PowerPC chip to be run on a PowerPC system that is made by IBM. I suspect that this was much easier than what ARDI has done in totally recreating the MAC OS for another processor. :) IOW, these are two totally different products that you are comparing here. ||||| Jesse D.
