Was it Palol Rossetti that one said, "People in glass house shouldn't throw stones?" Push away the Intel this, the Pentium-M that, or perhaps the ability to use the Dual Core Pentium 4, Apple has a much bigger challenge ahead of them. For years, they have been throwing down the MHz myth and now? They are sleeping with the "enemy" according to PowerPC zealots.

This is Adobe Code in Windows v. Adobe Code in PPC MacOS. Sure you can take statistics for what they are worth, which has been marketing. But for what it is worth but at no speed MHz do I find the Mac OS slow. I normally have 12-16 apps open and the OS always seems fresh.
I was asked in an interview today (sic.) "why not just put Red Hat on it?" and the answer is still a little naive. Apps and Packagesbundles. I never have to resolve dependancies in the Mac OS. I install it it works. If I choose to delete it I delete is. If I want to reinstall it then the SN# is still there as well as my App preferences. DLL's and tiny apps that link against huge libraries is an invation for disaster. Let's say I install Microsoft Office into a disk image and run the whole suite detached from the filesystem, and if god-forbid the app gets macro'd then I can scan where I know it happened.
I use APPLE HW to run MacOS. That is the rules. OS XRhapsodyNeXT have always run on Intel chips. The real task, the hard work that Apple and Adobe need to do is make sure that in the same *class* of HW that the apps perform the same. Will Final Cut work well in MacTel? as well as Adobe Premiere in Wintel?
Also will I be able to run X on OS X in Mactel certainly. So I will have two places to run everybody's favorite Unix
