The tag line may mean NOTHING, but then again....... A few years ago, at Macworld Keynote, Steve made the comment that "Once the transition to OS X is complete, we will have optio…

Wrong assumption. I believed all along that Apple was developing OS X for Intel. And I know I'm not the only person who suspected it. It was definitely not "nobody". tooki

I think your reading too much of what isn't there. As for OSX being developed on the intel all along makes sense to. I recall reading a story that apple was ready to jump over to …

I agree with everyone else that you're probably just reading into it. Especially when you read articles like this... Apple doesn't need to let OS X run on generic Intel machines t…

Strange that Apple went to all the trouble to disable OS X on generic Intel machines just as they were meaning to release it for those same machines.

The website's not a good measure of such things. Apple can change their website to whatever they want in a blink of an eye. If this were some sort of hard-published document they w…

I think the language is just designed to ease people coming from the Windows world into the concept of buying into a computer that requires a new operating system. So they'll read …

All it implies is that Apple would like to sell far more Intel-based Macs.

They say PowerPC-based machines, not Macs, yet it doesn't run on non-Mac PPC machines.

Very sharp observation! tooki

"PowerPC-based machines" Isn't that because Xserves aren't "Macs"?

I'm willing to bet that Steve is treating Apple like NeXT 2.0. History appears to be repeating itself.

to alphasub - he knows where I'm going with this line of thought.

I've been saying this for a LONG time. the intel transition is just step 1. I'm expecting a 5 year timeframe for "open osx", where you can build your own mac. Of course youll have …
