Na, the hardware doesn't have that much to do with it...
My Linux box isn't the same hardware as yours...and I hear apple is only having it run on _their_ hardware.
Apple has changed hardware-processors-etc several times over the years...
No biggie.
I have to disagree there. It is a major biggie to software developers. Over the years it has hurt Apple's growth when they have changed processors etc. This time only time will tell. They are not only going up against MS but Mark Shuttleworth is now actually touting Ubuntu (the next one) as going head to head with Windows. Add to that the strides SuSE and all the other Linux distro's are making and I think it might be a bad idea and could kill Apple as we know it. I predict MS making an offer for Apple and buying it up lock, stock and barrel. This would come about around 24 months after the move over to the Intel chip. But that's just my speculation :-) -- ============================================== I am only human, please forgive me if I make a mistake it is not deliberate. ============================================== Take care.
