Apple and Intel

The Apple Blog, Dispelling a few Intel Myths: "There’s a lot of confusion surrounding Apple’s move from PowerPC CPUs to Intel x86 ones, so in the interests of clarification:

Mac OS X will run on my Dell
No, it won’t.
Somehow Apple will make sure that the operating system that makes the Mac special remains a Mac-only thing - as far as they can, perhaps by using the (rumoured) DRM features on Intel’s CPUs. It might well become possible to emulate it under, say, Windows or Linux at decent speed, but it probably won’t run natively. At the end of the day, Apple needs the money from hardware sales to keep its operating system Insanely Great."
