It seems that
my analysis of the motives behind Apple's processor migration announcement last year are looking more and more
correct. It seemed obvious to me from the start. If your Apple, you've got to ask yourself "how can we increase our market share?" or more importantly "we have a better product, what is preventing users from switching?" The answers are complex to be sure, but somewhere in the mix is "Windows Dependency". Allowing all windows apps to run natively on OS X with little to no performance hit removes that barrier. Since virtualization can only occur when the hosted OS is written for the same architecture as the host OS, the architecture switch was a given.
You heard it here first - over 9 months ago.
