Apple-Intel<BR>thing.<BR><BR>OK, so Apple Builds Mac OS 10 for Intel,
applications are compiled to run<BR>universally on PPC and Intel. That
means the next build of Microsoft Office<BR>is basically running on Unix on
Intel. How big of a jump is it then to have<BR>Microsoft Office running on
another *nix? The pretty face on OS X is<BR>proprietary yes? How
hard is it to duplicate or emulate, are there already<BR>project to do it?
Could MS license the relevant portions just for their<BR>applications
running on *nix?<BR><BR>If I take off my tinfoil hat for a minute it almost
looks like Apple is<BR>giving Microsoft inroads to putting their cash cow on
*nix.<BR><BR>-Nate<BR><BR>-----Original Message-----<BR>From: Nathan C. Smith
