I think that since Mac OS X is a Unix system, and Windows is a Windows system, it is pretty obvious that apps from one system won't run natively on the other one (unless you have Wine, which allows you to run some Windows apps on OS X, but there's still no way to run OS X apps on Windows though).

We already had Cheetah. I think they chose wild cat names because many of those animals are very elegant. Like the tiger. Or panther. I like the choice of names. It's much better and simpler than "Longhorn" (-> Windows after XP). Trivia: Longhorn is the name of a ski mountain that's close...

I'd say, with the switch to Intel, Apple has passed the Point Of No Return. From my point of view, even if it doesn't seem likely that much to all of you who are supporting the Intel-switch, this marked the beginning of the slow and painful death for Apple Computer Inc. The PowerPC for the...

Yepp. Nicely said! Couldn't agree more.

Over time, they will. This is why they made the switch.

Well, OS X comes on a DVD. This is a shiny round object with a hole in its centre. Yeah. The data for the OS is on this object. Of course, the system is the experience for the user. OS X makes it all round and smooth. But the Mac experience is also made of the computer itself, its style...

I don't think there will be a G6 soon. Also, there are I don't know how much millions of dollars on the table between Intel and Apple, that a switch overnight back to PowerPC seems very much unlikely. A switch back to PowerPC itself seems unlikely at all. However, of course, support for...

Nice one! I sent this on to some of my friends :)

Exactly. Windows is some sort of try for an OS. But it isn't.

Uhm, *cough* the Macintosh is the whole computer and its design. Mac OS X is to my knowledge only the operating system. Of course, this is where it comes down for the end-user, but it's still the OS.

We don't know yet. But there's a high chance.

What about Mainboards? :confused:

An Intel CPU will never be as robust or as strong as the G5 is. Fact. Apple was ahead with technology with the G-series processor. Think different.

Couldn't agree more. With an Intel inside, I don't think you can call it a Mac or Macintosh anymore. I don't know about board members of Apple, but I think some important people at Apple come by here from time to time.

That's the end guys, that's not heaven. People will buy an high-end Intel-based Mac, then install Windows on it - because they like Windows better and want to use it on some kick-ass hardware. What about OS X? Of course, dual boot is possible, but then OS X will always be the second system...

From my point of view, with an Intel chip inside, I don't think you can call it a Mac anymore.

Dog's names would be somewhat nice... I like Schaeferhund! :D

cBook (<- "c'" for Centrino...

iBook (<- "i" referring to Intel processor) *cough cough*

VirtualPC 7 is not fully functional as of yet in Tiger. I'd say you should wait until Microsoft brings out a patch for VirtualPC to make it work in Tiger.
