Apple Apple CEO Steve Jobs and the company's senior vice president of worldwide product marketing Phil Schiller have just ended a frank and open discussion with European media. Jobs said: "We don't know how having OS X available for PCs would affect Macs", and promised, "we will have technology in OS X for Intel so that it cannot be installed in other PCs". Jobs also confirmed Apple's switch to Intel processors remains on schedule, saying: "We said we'd be shipping by next June and we are on track to have that be a true statement".

It's no secret that the majority of crashes under Windows NT variants (XP, 2000, Server 2003) are caused by bad hardware or driver

this is a myth....

win2000 is the most stable, hardly ever crashing... but the same machines always crash with XP and ME...

the point he was making was this....

2k is far more stable on the SAME HARDWARE as other versions of windows. so yes, it is more tolerant...

but the myth was that WHITE-BOX x86 machines are all too unstable

it is not the hardware, it is the OS

BTW - I have had more lock-ups with OSx Tiger than I have had with windows XP.
