I have no idea what Nokia did, but the Mac OS X statement is extremely wrong. OS X is a descendant of NeXTSTEP/OPENSTEP which always ran on IA-32. From 1989. Rhapsody (the unreleased OS X precursor which added a more Mac OS interface to OPENSTEP) ran on IA-32. Even Mac OS X Server 1.0 ran on IA-32. Mac OS X 10.0-10.3 were not released for IA-32, but support was maintained internally by Apple, fact easily checked because the Darwin releases from that period worked on IA-32.
- cokernel_hacker 13y agoI am afraid that you are "extremely wrong" He was referring to Mac OS, not OS X, which did have an intel port http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Trek_project http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Trek_project
- 4ad 13y agoInteresting, I didn't know about this. However, the comment is still wrong, this was a joint effort between Apple and Novell, not "a bunch of random engineers".
- yesplorer 13y agoInterestingly that is what makes it extremely wrong even though the substance of the OP is entirely correct: that Mac OS was ported to 86x
