<<It would also run the standard Mac OS and future Mac OS's, so that IBM could broaden production in order to sell the processor to Apple.>> If IBM were to use the Power PC chip, I don't think they would have the motherboard circuitry setup to run the Mac OS. My guess is it would have a cheap rom-set with an Intel emulator (not Virtual PC which runs on top of Mac OS). This emulator would proably be more standalone than VPC to the point of directly booting to Pentium II mode. That way, it cuts out a step and would run a faster emulation than VPC. PowerPC to Pentium II to Windows X vs. PowerPC to Mac OS to Virtual PC to Windows X Just my guess. -Bill_H
