Apple's future
Yesterday evening, I just read an article from John C. Dvorak,
there's a great probability Apple will, in a near future, switch from
the PowerPC architecture, to Intel microprocessors. Moreover, the next
version of the MacOS will be based on the Windows NT kernel ! Apparently
that's why they bought NEXTStep, which runs mainly on PC's, and why
Jean-Louis Gassee will release it's BeOS on PC's. JLG, former Apple #2
is still in close contact with Apple and knows a lot of secrets.
John Dvorak is sure a MacOS private version was *still* running on a
PC when Steve Jobs announced the partnership with M$. Everything was
decided, SJ told only a little, not to loose the Apple fans.
Also Bill Gates in an interview told Motorola will abandon the
microprocessor market (PowerPC+68000 I deduce).
Advantage : applications will have more facilities to run on the two
environments, in particular for displaying.
Inconvenients : Apple may have the same quality standards as M$.
>From the article, you unterstand that Apple and M$ will get nearer and
nearer in the future. The article is based on rumors, but too much
rumors and facts to be false.
My question is : will MacOS be *integrated* in Windows NT, or
Windows NT in MacOS ? ;-) Or will MacOS be the new client part of WNT
Server ?
