The PPC's in Macs are related to the Power series in IBM's servers, but they're not exactly the same. I'd expect that you'd need a re-compile at the very least. Also, BSD is not AIX, so there will very likely be some include/library issues. And, OS X runs on a customized MACH kernel (which includes changes to improve thread launching/forking). I don't know if AIX's kernel is MACH-like, but even if it is, there might still need to be changes in the threading model.

Others will follow over the next several years as Intel brings their newer chips online. just to get more market share. Actually, the explanation was that Intel had a better long term road map than IBM/FreeScale. FreeScale has had a really hard time meeting Apple's supply needs, the Power Architecture looks like it's going to be focussing in the cell direction and more on embedded solutions and the IBM/FreeScale partnership has missed several promised speed increases and still can't quite get the power consumption/heat output under control in the G5 series.

Re: [U2] U2 and MAC
Not for nuthin' but what would be the purpose of putting UV/UD on a Mac. I see it as a technical challenge that can be accomplished but it doesn't seem that practical or worthwhile. Macs are traditionally 50% more expensive than equivilent PC, mano y mano, so what's the gain? I've owned many versions of both from Apple I II, Lisa, and IBM-PC, XT, Heathkits, S100's, TRS-80's to today's P4's and Powerbooks and have kept the two families apart for their own positive reasons.
