At least it is balanced :-) Seems like a mutual partnership between
Apple and Intel, according to that article.
The most significant info... NOTE the G3 part .... :-
Rosetta, Apple's PPC to x86 binary translation software, also has some
limitations:
"Rosetta is designed to translate currently shipping applications that
run on a PowerPC with a G3 processor and that are built for Mac OS X.
Rosetta does not run the following:
• Applications built for Mac OS 8 or 9
• Code written specifically for AltiVec
• Code that inserts preferences in the System Preferences pane
• Applications that require a G4 or G5 processor
• Applications that depend on one or more kernel extensions
• Kernel extensions
• Bundled Java applications or Java applications with JNI libraries
that can't be translated."
