[X4U] Couple questions on Apples move to Intel

I realize that details are obviously very sketchy right now, however, 
there are a couple things that I'm wondering if anything has said 
anything about.

1. Will Mac OS X/x86 be able to run classic apps?  If not, it had 
better be able to run my shrink wrapped copy of ClarisDraw for 
Windows reliably somehow!

2. Will they continue to build hardware, or just sell the OS?  Or 
will the OS be available to purchase and run on non-Apple HW. 
(somehow I doubt any of these details have been revealed)

3. Is anyone surprised that they've continued development of the x86 
version in secret? :^)

PS Yes, I really need to move off of ClarisDraw, and I should really 
spend some time getting good with Adobe Illustrator.
