Warning - Niceguy767 actually said something that makes sense.

I'll go one further and say that with or without any change in AMD's demand they might not find it worth their while to court Apple. Besides, since when does a barely afloat company try to save other barely afloat companies?

I expect AMD to pick up the pieces and move on better than Apple will. (In my youth I was a diehard Apple evangelist. Of course that was prior to Dos 5, WFWG 3.11, and truly cheap windows PCs, live and learn eh?).

Of course Muzosi had the better reply: " how so ? i think the issue is not the isa (cpu) but the api (os). having os-x running on x86 wouldn't help, imo. if they could get msft to port win-xp to powerpc, that would be different question."
