If you have to ask, then there's no sense in me even attempting to  
explain it.  Obviously you've never written a line of code in your life.

I don't care if Apple has been test running it since 1,000 BC.  Third  
party software developers haven't.  And software is what makes any  
platform a viable solution.  If you think Mac OS X is viable with  
only what it ships with, out of the box, you're badly mistaken.  And  
I'll guarantee you x86 applications that people depend on to do their  
work aren't ready yet for OS X on x86, and many still won't be when  
the first boxes are released.  It's considerably more complicated  
than simply checking the box in Xcode for a universal ("fat") binary.

I'm working on porting a MySQL client application to MacTel at this  
very moment.  Been working on it for over a month.  Won't run with  
Rosetta either because it's mostly AltiVec code.  I'm getting back to  
work and leaving you in your dream world.

End of discussion.
