"I would love to see Microsoft port Windows to the G5." Windows NT 4.0 used to have a PPC version, back when MSFT was eager to get a piece of IBM's PowerPC servers (which used the same Motorola 601e chip that early Power Macs used.) "The Xbox division is developing their 2nd-gen OS and games on a pair of dual G5 Macs already running NT compiled to run on G5s. Something about existing Pentium computers being unable to emulate Xboxes in realtime." Yes and no. The core chips on the Xbox will be the IBM dual-core Power CPU's (the G5's are single-core.) Otherwise yes, it's funny watching MSFT using Apples to code on >:) (IIRC, I think a former MSFT contract employee was fired because he got caught taking photos of Microsoft purchasing G5 Power Macs... oh, found it: right here...) /P
