WWDC Fire Starter!

With news of Apple “Switching” to Intel barely on it’s way to the presses, Phil turns the gossip level from intense to ultra–max with his comments on Windows support for future Macs!?!
Stunning Apple fans used to the company’s typically tight lipped policies, Schiller went way beyond non-denial on the topic of running Windows on the just-announced, forthcoming Intel-based Macs. After stating the expected; that Apple has no plans to sell or support Windows, Phil continued:
“That doesn’t preclude someone from running it on a Mac. They probably will.” … “We won’t do anything to preclude that.”
Luckily, Phil took steps back toward sanity and finished with:
“We will not allow running Mac OS X on anything other than an Apple Mac.”
Which I guess means we are still going to be Mac users after all, even if PC gaming just got a little bit closer. Let’s hope we can all survive in this scary new world where Windows can literally pollute our beautiful happy Macs.
