Yes, one can write Mac OS to run on Intel and
W2k to run on iMacs. "Easily"?. *Yes* in the following sense:
It would be just as easy to write Mac OS from scratch to an Intel
box as to an iMac, and the same for W2k.
Of course, one cannot "easily" convert the existing 50 million lines of code
to another platform, but that was not the issue anyway.
