Re: We're we the Apple x86 lab rats???



It is my understanding that Apple owns a certain amount of the chip architecture. The processor is mainly a risk processor and the technology uses vaporized copper instead of aluminum. They have promised some of the rights to the technology to intel if they are willing to re-tool and mfg. chips for Apple. Mind you this is what I have heard so all of this could be way off.

Anyone know if the Intel Macs will be exactly the same as a Windows Machine?
A friend of mine says he read something about them not being exactly the
same, but I don't quite see how that would work.

I can imagine a lot of work was done on both sides. As it stands, the GUI
on Darwin is lacking, so obviously the folks at Apple have been hard at
work on that. I'm simply excited about it all the same.

So....

With Apple's announcement that its planning to switch over to Intel
chips, does this mean this whole effort with Darwin was less of a grass
roots effort as hobbyists to move the Mac OS over to x86 via Darwin and
more of Apple just sitting back and letting us be their lab rats while
we found solutions and answers to making Darwin more stability and
useable? I honestly don't mind, heck if Darwin keeps evolving into a
far more stable and robust commercial version, something with the
potential to chip away at the Windows empire, I'm all for that. I
just
thought it was interesting to see how things have sort of come together
on this path.

I think we did *a little more on x86 than just put out Darwin releases during the last 5 years, heh

But sure, the Darmwin x86 community helped towards this whole effect.

It's weird after so so long to be able to talk about this at all....
