- Well, I think the point is that apple doesn't *want* to have their
- OS running on an intel box. They came out with PowerPC based macs
- to replace the intel box and do just what you are
- suggesting--porting everything to one platform so that everyone can
- be happy with one box and their favorite OS. It would be rather
- stupid for apple to port MacOS to X86 because it mean that they are
- working against themselves.
