This is way off topic, but I found this video extremely interesting and exciting. For those of you who aren’t tech geeks like myself and didn’t know this already, Apple announced a while back that it would be switching from the IBM Power PC architecture (G4, G5) to Intel processors starting next year. This was huge news…nobody ever imagined in a million years that Apple would go the Intel route. An even bigger suprise was that Apple has a version of OS X that runs on Intel machines, and has shipped this version to developers along with a development kit based on Intel hardware. This version is supposed to be locked to only run on the development kits, but folks around the world have been working to get the OS booting on any old PC box. So anyway, here is a video of OS X booting on both a Dell Dimension 8250 and a 15″ Powerbook G4. As if the shock of seeing OS X running natively on a Dell PC isn’t enough, you’ll notice that the Dell easily beats the Powerbook to the desktop. Pretty cool stuff if you ask me. I just hope Steve Jobs decides to go head-to-head with Microsoft and release a version of OS X that can be installed on any x86 PC. I’ll be the first in line to fork over my cash.
