OSX and Intel processors...

  OS X supported OS9 apps until long after people were puking at the mere sight of OS9 apps. And when they converted to Intel, they also provided Rosetta, a completely ridiculous binary translation system to make PPC apps work. Those are bad examples.

  The most striking for me when Jobs announced move to Intel was the bit where he told that they had OS X builds for Intel since the very first version of OS X. Who knows what are they cooking in their secret kitchens.

    NeXTStep was ported to x86 back in 1993, years before it was acquired and rebranded as Mac OS X. I would have been surprised if they had neglected to maintain an asset like that.
