Haven't heard anything about that. I think the new Windows coming out (vista?) is based on the NT kernal - a mature and solid core. I'd actually be surprised if they made the switch at this point - my XP boxes are as stable as my OSX boxes...

NT is based on Unix. Apple took a bit longer to see the light.

with an intel processor crunchin numbers now, exactly what restrictions exist for installing windows on a mac?

I think it's really all about ego's..

Bill Gates and Steve Jobs do not like each other... that's really what it's all about IMO...

Either one of them would sacrifice just to see the other squirm:

No,... I doubt windoze will ever run on a MAC... but I hope I am wrong.

Will Apple Adopt Windows?

They already did, back in 1984.

But it wasn't Microsoft Windows!
