The Inquirer ha pubblicato a questo indirizzo alcune considerazioni sulla possibile migrazione di Apple a piattaforme x86, grazie anche al nuovo MacOS X, sistema operativo unix like.

The core of MacOS X is extremely portable, he said, and as NeXTSTEP and OPENSTEP has run on SPARC, HP-PA/RISC, PowerPC, x86, and he said, perhaps the Alpha processor too.

"Years ago I could compile NeXTSTEP app's on a 68030 NeXT workstation, then install the app onto an HP or Sun workstation, or a PC, and run it just fine, either under NeXTSTEP as an operating system or under a host OS (Solaris, Windows NT) under an OPENSTEP runtime. It still works; you can use the WebObjects runtime (which runs on almost anything) to run Cocoa apps."
