Yes and no. MS doesn't dictate hardware or system architectures. So
long as drivers are there MS windows could run on anything.
Uh, waitamin. I gotta research, but I remember reading about
Microsoft maintaining a rather long/detailed specification as to what
a PC is and how it has to work, and that Intel balked at their newest
revisions, but dummied up as MS controlled everything.
This will trickle down to the Windows world, Intel knows who buys
MOST of their chips after all, but Apple will get first use of them,
meaning Apple WILL be able to say 'we're faster than any Dell', and
Apple will get a chunk of what Intel makes selling them, too.
Maybe. Sortof. Hopefully. And (*snicker*) they'll handle this
better than the trickle-down of SCSI and ADB and FireWire.
