When Apple got Steve Jobs back, there was a version of the NextStep OS 
(which
OSX is based on) that was ready to run on Intel boxes.  Apple announced 
that
OSX would be released for BOTH platforms.  Yeah, that's right folks.  
Both.  I
think they realized that they make most of their money on hardware, so they
scrapped the Intel version.   A damn shame for Intel box owners.  Imagine 
being
able to have the best commercial OS in the world run on cheap hardware?  Oh
well.

Oh poor PC users.  They hardly have any software.  Software companies never
just stop development of Mac software.  Sorry for the sarcasm, but this 
stuff
has been happening to Mac users for years and years, so it's hard to hear 
the
other side complain.  Suck it up and buy a Mac.
