Hi, I have two big concerns about the move.
1) Having a CPU that runs x86 code, it would be a lot easier to write a multiplataform virus. It should only check what kind of OS you are running and then perform the appropiate attack. It existed already such a virus many years ago, it attacked different flavors of unix internet servers. IMHO the intel-pseudoMacs wil be as secure (or insecure) as linux running in a PC clone.
2) The last CPUs announced from intel will have built in hardware for DRM. Wich kind of limitations will we have to manipulate the different kinds of data ?
Without doubt, OS X is a lot easier to use than linux. But, is that enough to justify the premium price and the menace of DRM ? Rgds, Fernando -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
