[ros-dev] PPC Port of ReactOS Not Needed?

[TwoTailedFox]

This is where he got the information from:

http://www.betanews.com/article/Apple_Announces_Switch_to_Intel_Chips/1118079654#c64808

Apple is indeed switching to x86. Mac OX X 10.5 (Codename 'Leopard')
will be the first MacOS X Version to be available for x86. And Apple
has had MacOS compiled for the x86 for 5 years.

And this makes me wonder: What now for the usefulness of PearPC?
