Power PC get the boot: Welcome Intel

Forgot the link to the story.
However, Schiller said the company does not plan to let people run Mac OS X on other computer makers’ hardware. “We will not allow running Mac OS X on anything other than an Apple Mac,” he said.
Not smart if you ask me. Can understand if it is not supported but Apple shouldn’t go out of its way to prevent this from happening:
- Doing so adds complexity to the OS. Complexity is bad. Introduces inefficient, unmaintainable, buggy insecure code.
- It’ll happen any way. I would stake I left masculine orb that as of the revelation that Apple has been developing all versions of OS X since its inception to run on Intel and PowerPC chips some hacker is right now trying to get OS/X to run on his dusty old x86, and that by next year there will be some hacked up version of OS/X that runs on a regular old PC. Call it Apple wine or apple sauce or MacE. (The last one might fly
)
