>Don't write off the Intel version of OS X just yet; although Apple has made it clear they have no immediate plans for an x86 Rhapsody, the complete build of Server running on a Pentium III/500 workstation and a second machine using an AMD K6-3 450 drives the point home -- because of the nature of the OS X development process, Apple doesn't have to put much effort at all into keeping an Intel-compatible version (with complete feature parity with the PPC version, minus the Blue Box and Carbon) of the OS running internally.< macosrumors.com >Does anyone expect the speech tomorrow to generate more interest in the stock than it did today?< Herbvic, I'm long done trying to predict near-term market reactions to AAPL news events. [Perhaps if Jobs were announce he was going to spin off QT and only float 3 million shares ... :)] This quote is more in response to RB posts on IBM/MOT discord and what it would mean for the future of PPC. In its annual reports, AAPL has repeatedly mentioned the possible demise of the PPC as a concern. That they continue bi-platform OS/app development addresses that. It's not like Macs have never had X86s add-on boards under the hood before.
