[off topic?] Apple adopting Wintel technology... By Jim Davis Staff Writer, CNET NEWS.COM May 15, 1998, 1:00 p.m. PT Apple Computer is swallowing its pride and adopting technologies developed in the Windows-Intel world as it strives to lower manufacturing costs and offer customers a wider array of hardware options in upcoming systems. [picture] Though Apple has long been regarded in the computer industry as a hardware innovator, the company is now employing or will soon employ three core technologies widely used in Windows-Intel computers. These were developed by Intel and other leading Intel-based PC companies as a way to leverage the advantages of the high-volume PC market. The strategy essentially takes the best of the Windows-Intel and Macintosh technologies and melds them into a best-of-breed box--which eventually could turn a lot of heads in the PC world. But the Macintosh operating system and PowerPC processor still stand as major points of differentiation from Window-Intel computers. One important mass-market technology that will wind its way onto the Mac platform is the accelerated graphics port (AGP), an Intel technology for fast 3D graphics. Apple executives say they plan to incorporate support for AGP into systems by mid-1999.
