I am glad for this announcement, only because I can
finally talk about OS
X on
intel... as I saw it running over 7 years ago. 7-year NDAs suck :-)
Apple's early seeds of OS X had an Intel verison. Ran on standard PCs. I
still have my copy kicking around here somewhere. I ran it for a short
while. Of course, back then there was really nothing that ran on it.
Classic didn't exist yet.
Apple's original roadmap for OS X included the "Yellow Box" which was
supposed to be an Intel version with Intel based OS compatability. Think
Classic but for Windows apps. It also never came about.
I suspect it may finally be heading that direction.
