Well I am betting that this will be on Apple kit only, but they have shocked me once so we will have to see.
Well, you're right. From news.com:
"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"
Interesting times ahead.
Nope, not interesting at all really, means they only have to cope with a limited subset of hardware (only stuff that they want to support), and that all the current mac developers, unless they've been writing generic cross platform/architecture code, have got a hell of a lot of work to do... Should be good, though... when they go x86, the ppc kit should become cheap, and then, then I shall buy some ppc kit... not for OS X, but for a shiny beast called debian sarge (which will probably still be stable by then, it was *RELEASED* yesterday evening! Yay! go Debian!).
Interesting *pah*, Apple shooting them selves in the foot is more likely.
