On January 10, 2006, Apple Computer, Inc. announced the first production Macs to use the Intel architecture. The first is the iMac. This new iMac uses the same case as the latest iMac G5. It still includes a built in iSight camera, Front Row, and an Apple Remote comes with it. However, the inside is radically different. On its motherboard sits a beautiful new Intel Core Duo processor. This is actually 2 CPUs on one chip (much like the dual core G5).

One more thing...the other new product is the all new MacBook Pro. This also has an Apple Remote, Front Row, iSight built in, and an Intel Core Duo.

This is just the bare basic sumary. This stuff is awesome!

The new commercial is here: http://www.apple.com/intel/ads/

Also watch Steve Jobs. I always love watching his keynotes! http://www.apple.com/quicktime/qtv/mwsf06/

This news is somewhat old. (as far as the computer world goes) This was announced yesterday, and I'm sure at least 80% of the people here watched in sweet exstacy as Apple launched these products. Which, by the way, Intel Macs were announced last June.

Pardon my English, I use the language properly.

I meant they were just shipping yesterday and they actually launched them. I figured most people knew about it. But there was no discussion about it surprisingly. so i made one.

As long as we have each other, thats all that matters -Maria

it is apparently possible, but it was done with illegally distributed copies of osx. I am pretty sure Apple will never distribute a version of the Mac OS that would be able to install on just any pc out there. Apple likes to have complete control over what hardware thier os runs on. Making a pc compatible version of Mac OS would end thier control of the hardware end and really would cut into thier sales.

Tiger also runs natively on Intel chips, all versions of OS X did that apparently. But, despite that, the rest of the hardware has to be apple made, so you can' instal OS X in your PC, which is a good decision I believe.

Maybe installing Mac OS X on PPC would be better now that it doesn't have to emulate a PPC (PowerPC) processor.

Or you could possibly buy the universal version of Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger, rip the image(s) out of the DVDs and install the OS that way.

I'd like to try that.

Or, what I would do, is just buy a Mac. I've got several PowerPC Macs, now I wanna get an Intel.
