Hmm, well, they finally did it. Though I suspect alot of non-mac users were abit disappointed that Macs will still be highly controlled hardware even if it made mostly of off the shelf components. Meaning no MacOS X on just any x86 hardware.
I wonder what affect this will have on PPC.

My favorite comment from Slashdot on this story:
"I felt something, a disturbance in the network, as if a million mac zealots cried out in horror and were suddenly silenced"

I don't know what to think. But it's very exciting. What's next? Windows goes PPC

Can we at least hope the requests for AmigaOS on Mac hardware will now die off?? ;)


Sure, Now it will be "Amiga OS needs to be ported to X86! Pronto! PPC is dead...." because the sky is falling. Noone realized how many other companies use PPC CPUs.
