Most interesting part: it has Java APIs for direct access to hardware over GPIO, PWM, UART, SPI, I2C. The intention is that all device access happens from application-level Java code, not at the kernel/HAL/framework level. This me

A rev of the original MacBook Air (the 2008-2010 one) got a custom package of an Intel CPU before it was available commercially. The original MBA was expensive and underpowered, a niche product at the time. PC vendors responded with equ

Office 98 still used MSVC++ 4.0 hosted on x86 (the Cross-Development Edition that targeted 68k/PPC MacOS). They migrated to CodeWarrior for Office 2001. Blog posts from MacBU employees that you will find interesting (also their archive

I was a Mac user and didn't play PC games until the Win32 era, but were there very many games for Win16? I thought that targeting DOS was still common well into the Win95 years.

MoL ran the entire MacOS (9 or X) in an X window or VT, making it a full virtualization layer like VMware or VirtualBox. This is a binary loader/API translation layer/reimplementation, like Wine.
