Will Intel-based Mac cause problems for BRL?

Ziggy, what do you mean by "That happened when they change the motorola processors to the IBM ones, the new IBM procesors where made SPETIALY for apple, and designed to maintain binary compatibility with the old motorola processors."

The PowerPC found in the Apples do not share the same instruction set as the Motorola 68k line. From what I understand, the PPC macs employed an emulation scheme to run 68K software.

Also, although the initial press release from Apple didn't mention P4 as the actual processor, the fact that demos have already been shown running WinXP is a pretty good indicator that this is the case.

Here's an interesting theory: http://www.pbs.org/cringely/pulpit/pulpit20050609.html

And this sure didn't take long:
