only difference between a 68k and PowerPC was 16-bti vs. 32-bit, the changet o
Intel was significated because the Intel CPU wasn't compabible with 68k/PPC
code which is why for a while OSx could run on both CPUs until they had enough
of an Intel base that they phased out support for Motorola CPUs in 10.5.x
(Leopard I think).

Apple has never been one for Windows, and at this point I don't think it
matters what CPU the platform runs on. Also, doesn't Win10 run on ARM CPUs? I
used to love Apple systems, now they are just sealed bloatware.

I'm responding to an old message, sorry if you guys have moved on a long time
ago. ;)
