Quote: Finally might be able to get a decent GUI based OS, only problem with that theory is, once they switch to non proprietry hardware they loose the edge with hardware support OS X is a GUI-based OS ... do you mean to say that you want a GUI that looks like windoze? if so, why not get a linix distro and run a window manager that looks like Xpee ? Quote: i use FreeBSD on my main computer, and while it takes ALOT of fiddling, once its right it STAYS right and tends to run mem intensive java apps better than windows (which i use alot of unfortunatly) OS X is based on BSD - that's why it's so stable and scalable. It also runs java apps without trauma - both on the server and desktop. Quote: Switching to intel will make no difference for the cosumer i think, unless the new chip is loosely based on x86 and someone manages to port OSX over, unlikely though duh x 2... it is already running on i86 CPUs ... they (Apple via Steve Jobs) are saying that OS X is mostly ported to i86 (using their openfirmware boards, not the ibm-pc bios-driven boards). it's going to be developers who code relied on the peculiarities of the power PC chip (e.g. the altivec stuff) that will have the hardest time migrating over. the thing for consumers is that some will decide to wait for the hardware change, some will complain about buying hardware with a roadmap that has a dead-end, and the mac zealots may not buy the new hardware at all because Steve has turned to the dark side.
