Also at the San Francisco conference, Apple senior vice president Phil Schiller said the company would not take any steps to prevent outsiders from modifying Apple computers to run the Windows operating system although Apple itself had no place to sell or support Windows on an Intel-based Macintosh computer. "That doesn't preclude someone from running it on a Mac," he said. "They probably will. We won't do anything to preclude that." But Schiller insisted that the movie was not a precursor to porting the Mac OS X on other computer makers' hardware. "We will not allow running Mac OS X on anything other than an Apple computer," he said. --SP 2300 Local Time 2000 GMT
