I think we should email the US patent offece and prove that this patent is UNCONSTITUTIONAL!
Technically if we prove theming existed before (we all know it did) we can get them to give the patent to the open-source community!
Heck, if this is what we need to do to keep linux going we might as well begin to file for these ridiculous patents. Anyone up for patenting the open-source movement idea?!?!
The Power PC G4 outperforms the pentiums in many operations..... So basically if apple chooses PC over Motorola thier hardware would only be an overpowered pc. All of the pluses of using motorola CPU's would be gone!! (enhanced momory management, Altivec mathcoprocessing and advanced SMP cpu management.
Intel had thier heads up thier ass. If apple does choose this they should use AMD's chips.

It's called Interix. It is a software layer that runs ontop of w2k. They charge 2 grand for it and don't release the source at all!
