Yeah, I think that was the "yellow box" in Rhapsody and AIR, it was
targeted at the server market, not the desktop.
As to the HW requirements -- I run OS X on a 233MHz early iMac did the
port of CFMX Linux to OS X with Red Hat running under Virtual PC.
From what I observe -- most PCs sold today are much more robust than
the above.
Every so often, the rumor of OS X on Intel pops up, with sightings like
the Loch Ness Monster.
