Ah, but the new OS is not just an intel OS. It can run native on a dozen diferent processors or hosted on a number of different OS's from windows to linux to OS-9 to palm to psion to a bunch of others... and the programming language will be the _same_ for all of them. I suspect it will probably be able to multi-task with all of them, that is you could have your Pentium III co-processing with your Palm and PPC processors all at the same time transparently. I doubt Windows will ever be able to do anything remotely like that.
I swear by Amiga OS and Computers, I swear _at_ Windows and Intel PCs. I hope to soon be able to buy a G4 card to put in my Amiga 3000T, PCs from that era are only good for boat anchors.
