But why is this so?  It is because Apple refuses to release
an x86 version of MacOS.  At least Windows NT existed in
a PowerPC version at one time.

Where is the planned version of MacOS-X for the x86?  It
would be a killer platform on a 1Ghz Athlon.

Funny thing about it is that MacOS-X (Rhapsody) is
UNIX based because it is based on NeXT OS which was
UNIX based.

There have been such enhanced UNIX derived OSes on
the PC.  NeXT OS and the newer flavors of Linux to name
two.
