Mac has historically abandoned backward compatibility of their OS's as well 
as their hardware..........how soon we forget they ababndoned the old Motorola 
6800 in favor of the Power PC chip and then moved on to the G2, G3, G4, G5 
series, which is, IRONICALLY made by IBM.

Intel processors are still based on a superset of the original 8086 
architechture, so they are, essentially backwards compatible (although no one would 
want to go back and run MS-DOS over Windows), which makes the above statement an 
emotional opinion rather than historical fact.

I have both Mac and PC and they both suck when they don't work.
