 | | The goal of this project was to create a version of Mac OS that would run on Intel-compatible x86 personal computers. | | | In January 2006, Apple released the first Macintosh computers with Intel processors, an iMac and the MacBook Pro, and in February 2006, Apple released a Mac Mini with an Intel Core Solo and Duo processor. | | | The initial purpose of this was to avoid using up the limited storage of floppy disks on system support, given that the early Macs had no hard disk. |

| | Apple Macintosh - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | The Macintosh, or Mac, line of personal computers is designed, developed, manufactured, and marketed by Apple Computer. | | | With the release of Intel-based Macintosh computers, the potential to natively run Windows based operating systems on Apple hardware is introduced, without the need for software such as Virtual PC. | | | Apple has introduced a number of innovations in direct relation to the Macintosh 128K that were later adopted by the rest of industry as a standard for the design of computers. |

| | And most of us are cloned in Microsoft Windows (even the so-called computers experts on the net and in the computer magazines). | | | All those computers users, who used an IBM Microsoft OS clone at work, were buying an IBM Microsoft OS clone for the home, to go on the Internet and get their email. | | | The computer public was not interested in the Apple Lisa or the Macintosh or even Microsoft Windows until 1991. |

| | Black Enterprise: Send in the clones: Mac-compatibles compete for market share - Apple Computer's Macintosh clones |
| | Power Computing appears to be the leading clone maker, with its PowerWave 604 line. | | | The new computers have enough speed and power to compete in Macintosh's strongholds of publishing and graphic design. | | | This raises serious questions about whether or not Apple--which was plagued last year by parts shortages and equipment failures--can meet already backlogged orders and future demand for its computers and operating-system software. |

| | Apple Faces a Showdown With IBM |
| | Part of Apple's problem is that clone makers like Power Computing are often quicker to develop the most powerful -- and most profitable -- computer systems than Apple's own engineers. | | | IBM does not make and sell Macintosh computers, but instead resells Macintosh software when it sells Power PC processors to other computer makers. | | | For several months, for example, Power Computing, based in Austin, Texas, has had a 300-megahertz Macintosh ready to bring to market, which would rank among the personal computer industry's fastest machines. |

| | Apple's Role in the Market |
| | For this to work, Apple needs to make it clear that ongoing support will be provided for each technology and it must learn to market not the technology itself (who cares?), but rather the benefits the technology provides to users. | | | Power Computing is well backed and managed and could be an interesting player all on its own, if you assume (as we do) there is a market for Macintosh clones. | | | Copeland (System 8, the next major version of the Mac/OS) is the most important project at Apple) and Apple needs to treat it that way with adequate resources and a real sense of urgency. |
