Ifølge denne side:

http://www.macrumors.com/pages/2005/05/20050523070726.shtml

"Such a switch would traditionally require recompilation of applications,
but Page 2 rumors have suggested the use of Transitive Technologies'
software which claims to "dynamically translate and accelerate binaries"
up to 80% performance matching, as well as unconfirmed reports of x86
seeds of Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger)."

og yderligere:

According to an unconfirmed report, there is evidence that Apple has had
special internal seeds of Tiger which support this technology for the x86
platform. Beyond allowing Tiger to run on x86, perhaps more significantly
is the potential to also allow existing Mac OS X applications to be run on
the x86 (PC) platform without recompilation. Otherwise, requiring
developers to recompile all current Mac OS X applications has been seen as
a major hurdle in providing Mac OS X on the PC.

Om der er hold i rygterne vides ikke endnu, men jeg vil da holde øje med
mac-nyhedssiderne imorgen :P
