After Jobs' presentation, Apple Senior Vice President Phil
Schiller
addressed the issue of running Windows on Macs, saying there are
no
plans to sell or support Windows on an Intel-based Mac. "That
doesn't preclude someone from running it on a Mac. They probably
will," he said. "We won't do anything to preclude that."
However, Schiller said the company does not plan to let people run
Mac OS X on other computer makers' hardware. "We will not allow
running Mac OS X on anything other than an Apple Mac," he said.
"We won't do anything to preclude that" seems pretty definitive to
me.
Sorry, I must be dense. It doesn't seem definitive at all to me. Does
it mean that some genius kid hacker could modify the new Mac (or
Windows) to run Windows, or that anybody could install Windows and all
will be well? Will it run in a way that we will be happy with, at a
reasonable speed with all ports addressed, MIDI and networking and
printers and external drives and all?
