Remember the MacOS on PowerPC? You got a PowerPC chip emulating a 68K one to run MacOs.

The hardware is fast, but how about the OS? Is Panther 64bit? Or is it 32bit OS that a 64bit processor will emulate and ergo not fully utilize the hardware advantage?Īpple has a looong history of beefing up their hardware and selling you a crappy slow OS to run on top. I actually love the PowerPC line over X86. Lets say the G5 is the fastest pc out there. Is not the first time, MacOS use to run on PPC emulating 68k, embarassing. I predicted this on, becuase pushing hardware and selling an inferior OS on it is Apple MO. The largest competition isn’t YelloDog Linux on G4/G5. “So Jobs like to benchmark the Hardware, but he doesn’t put any stress on benchmarking OSX versus say YelloDog Linux, or in this case AIX, as IBM intend to sell G5 AIX boxes.” In typical OS news fashion, the headline is misleading which feeds the ignorance of the unwashed masses such as yourself. “the ripoff is the OS which won’t take advantage of the hardware.”

No more expensive than comparible PC systems.As a matter of fact, they’re considerably less expensivethan comparable x86 systems. Sounds to me like you don t use Apple technologies out of ignorance. Remaja, what you said/implied was that the OS would not be able to run 64 bit software nativly… and THAT is false. “Well, I TOLD YOU SO!!!! Panther WILL NOT BE A 64bit OS!!!Īfter all the hate post of get informed, and you not having clue… it turn out that Steve Jobs is doing ya’ll again.”
