- It is not true.
-
- MacOS 7.5 doesn't even run fully native on PowerPC machines yet.
-
- Apple just announced that they wouldn't be able to provide a
- pre-release of Copland to developers going to WWDC (a big developers
- conference). Copland is slipping and they do not have the manpower to
- take on a project of the scale of a native port of 7.5 to Intel.
-
- On the other hand, it is possible that they have the Copland *kernel*
- running natively under Intel, but that's a *big* difference.
