OT: RE: Apple Goes Intel...

Mac app when a Win app will do? Mac ceased to be relevant for exactly that reason ten years ago. -----Original Message----- From: cctalk-bounces at classiccmp.org [mailto:cctalk-bounces at classiccmp.org] On Behalf Of Cameron Kaiser Sent: Monday, June 06, 2005 11:19 PM To: cctalk at classiccmp.org Subject: Re: Apple Goes Intel... (OT added) It's bad news. I've been nauseous all day. I think by removing the last piece of "unique" out of modern Macs -- the PPC CPU -- Apple has just announced they're in the PC business. Once VPC gets to the point where Windows apps are no longer second class citizens in the Mac world (like they are under VPC now), and run at or near full speed, Macintosh will cease to be relevant because who would want to write a Mac app when a Win app will do? This is the same thing that killed OS/2. I'll buy a G5 before they disappear, and then find some new platform to colonize. -- ---------------------------------- personal: http://www.armory.com/~spectre/ -- Cameron Kaiser, Floodgap Systems Ltd * So.
