MacOS Rumors is reporting (as a rumor) that MacOS X is building on the Alpha processor. Supposedly the Mac and Compaq engineers have a very close working relationship. That's news to me, but what do I know? Well, for one, I do know that Motorolla is really screwing things up with their inability to get the G4 passed 500 Mhz. I guess Apple is just keeping their options open (like with the even more outlandish IBM Power4 rumors.) Maybe this is more to scare Motorolla than anything else. But I can still dream. (Reality check: OS X is building, but without Carbon and the Classic environment.)
