Milton,

Not if Windows is also available on ARM processors, and they say it will be, not that I would want to run Windows:)

Thanks for the confirmation. Purchasing Lion and get it installed on
my x86 Macs so I can begin formal testing is on my to do list now that
Apple has released.

And my "Brain Surgery" I did on the old Core Duo Max Mini x86
yesterday was a complete success. On Monday my 2 gighz Core 2 Duo
replacement chip finally arrived (waiting in Customs for a month due
to the Canada Post mail strike).

Glad to hear it's working well for you.

The Bad part is that all those PowerPC / SSE3 optimizations are toast
going forward, as Apple will be dumping Intel processors and switching
to their own proprietary ARM processors in the future. That would also
pretty well kill off running Windows on a Mac too.
