Wow, interesting turn of events.
Quote:
After Jobs' presentation, Apple Senior Vice President Phil Schiller addressed the issue of running Windows on Macs, saying there are no plans to sell or support Windows on an Intel-based Mac. "That doesn't preclude someone from running it on a Mac. They probably will," he said. "We won't do anything to preclude that."
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."

Windows on a Mac may be a possibility. Interesting.
X86 has not been mentioned in any way, shape, or form. Due to its horrible 64-bit support, it's doubtful that it will be the processor of choice for Apple. But then Intel decided to announce quad-core processors for Q1 2006. Coincidence?
And give Apple a round of applause. They have been planning this for 5 years, before the G5 was even out, and yet they managed it to be kept a complete secret, until now.
