Yes it can. If its recompiled for it. Pretty much a straight compile.
Just have to get the Visual C++ compiler for PowerPC. Haven't seen it
yet, but I know it must be available now or within a few weeks. The
PowerPC CPU itself is reported to have better floating point performance,
and be faster than an equivalent Pentium XXX mhz machine. We'll have to
wait to see if that holds up with real world applications running WindowsNT.
