MacBook are supposed to be based on Core Solo processors. So they could be announced sometime in march. That's what seem the more likely. I also do beleive that we will see a tablet like Mac judging by all the work done in MacOS X (Inkwell among …

Windows XP doesn't by itself recognize EFI but there is a BIOS legacy module (developed by INTEL) in EFI that enable it to boot an BIOS compliant OS. The question is: Does Apple choose to include it in their personilised implementation of EFI? …

Another factor of optimization on the INTEL platform will also come from the fact that the ABI for MacOS X was originally defined for the x86 version of NeXTStep. When Apple starts to work on Rhapsody, they rush into the definition of the PPC ABI of…

Thanks hmurchison. iWork 06 could see a big upgrade as it will be the only native productivity app that will run natively on Intel Mac. The long expected spreadsheet could make an appearance. And possibly a drawing/painting related application. …

As a developer I don't see the Powerbook has been the first to be powered by an Intel processor. Why? Because there would be very few software for it! Only the biggest software developer have chosen to rent an Intel Developer Transition Kit…

Do you guys think that we will see an Xscale processor as a replacement to the Portal Player OS in the iPod? The Xscale and the processor use the same ARM instruction set. I tend to think that the more the iPod OS become complex the more it ne…

I don't think that a PowerBook with HD display and a incremental CPU upgrade could take a center stage today. A powerbook is not a consumer product and the HD screen is just a mean to let it not fall to far behind before the next generation (with In…

A video iPod could come as a regular iPod carrying like iPod or iPod video (to put the emphasis on this new fonctionality). I see little chance for a specialized video iPod to be announced today. The current form factor with stay at least one yea…

A thing that between the creation of this thread and now is that Apple announce their switch to INTEL processor. I really think that this will accelerate the move toward a 2 buttons Apple mouse (and a more standard international keyboard layout).…

I also find references to legacy boot in the INTEL EFI documentation. Thank you for all your responses, they give a good picture of what can be the future Mactel firmware. There is so much more documentation on the INTEL side of the fence than…

The way I see thing is that after power consumption, speed of execution, multi-core and prices, virtualization could be one of the most important vector of growth for the Mac platform. The Mac mini is trying to convince people to buy a Mac has an ac…

PCIExpress will integrate virtualization ? This could open interesting perspectives! I don't known if Apple will use virtualization in a blade front. It could open up some interesting possibilities in a multi nodes architecture (XGrid). I was …

Yes Longhorn will supports EFI so Mactel computers using EFI should be able to boot into Windows when it will be available. Does anyone know if other vendor already sell computer based on EFI ? To me it seems that every one is using BIOS today…
