Apple has already announced that they will be porting their operating system over to Intel chips and select portions of it to WINDOWS, Sport. AND, the PowerPC happens to be designed around RISC chips, which Motorola can make if they want to. I was talking about their 68xxx chips which NOBODY has announced they are porting ANYthing to! And for good reasons. No one but Microsoft claims that Windows is an operating system. It requires DOS, so it ain't. When they come out with the version that does not need DOS, let's THEN bash it as an operating system, if it's unstable. You throw around your information with a lot of assertion, but that does not make it true. It's regrettably incomplete. Even Apple has acknowledged that the large installed base of Windows stations (10million compared to the 7 million Macintoshes out there) will draw (read: IS DRAWING) software developers away from the Mac. Apple has been making moves to follow the crowd for a couple of years already and, now that their lawsuit against Microsoft and HP has fallen on its little smiley face, they'll be working even harder to get to RISC chips with or ahead of everybody else. I'm afraid you're making announcements in an empty theater, Wayne. Say, you're not on TV, are you?
