Looks like Apple’s big squeeze (that’d be IBM, who makes their chips) wants to start enabling virtualization on
their processor line, which would, in turn, allow multiple simultaneous OSes to be run on a single computer. Now, don’t
get your panties in a wad; they still all have to be PowerPC compatible OSes (i.e. OSX, YellowDog Linux, etc.) but it’s
at least a little reassuring to know that Apple intends to compete with those pesky x86 chipmakers on a number of
levels in 2005. No comments yet made aboutthe dual-core stuff, though.
