Re: Can Quix save Apple?



I believe that if Apple were to either put the OS on Intel hardware, or 
support ARDI with all the technical specs that they / you needed, they 
could become more profitable.  Where had Microsoft made the bulk of its 
money? They did it by licensing the OS.  Apple really can't produce the 
volum,e of custom ASICs needed by clone manufacturers.  Thats why the 
deal with gateway fell through.  If they out the os on NON Apple 
hardware, they can work out licensing agreements, to distribute the OS.


You guys (speaking to ARDI) really ought to work with QUIX, using their 
technology to drop in system 7.5, and allow them to use your emulator.  
Crate a mutual technology exchange.

Did anyone read in a recent MacWeek, about Apple wanting to put Windows 
or Windows 95 on the Mac.  They ran into some problems.  They lost there 
OEM licensing agreement with Microsoft, and in order to get a new one, 
they must swear that they will not sue MS for patent infringement.  They 
then said, well why not put the non-upgrade version of WIndows95 on the 
Mac.  Problem, it comes on 1.7 (or so) meg floppies that the mac (Super) 
Drive can't read.  The full product does not come on CD.

Why does Apple want Windows on Apple hardware, but they don't want MacOS 
on Intel (or compatible (Cyrix, AMD, NexGen)) hardware?
