Q, then they would have the same features and performance. Can you give any good reason why WinTel should not be mentioned? Are you the final arbiter of which virtualization solutions get mention in wikipedia, so that you can exclude WinTel just because you don't like them? You're obviously biased against WinTel and toward Q. I don't use either, nor any other virtualization solution, and I don't see any reason why WinTel should not be mentioned in the article. And so far, all you seem to have come up with is that you don't like the WinTel developers because you think they ripped off Q. If there is some kind of dispute about that, it belongs in the Q or WinTel articles, not here. Merely deleting any reference to WinTel because you don't like them is called "censorship". I guess it's not possible to have even one NPOV article on wikipedia, even on a technical subject. wikipedia is such a sham; you can have it.

But until we have the final hardware we can't know what Virtual PC will look like on those machines," Lefebvre said. "There are dependencies with the OS and the hardware. Until we know what the final hardware is like, it's difficult to know how it will work," she concluded." 1022:
What sources can be found that it's called Apple-Intel architecture, and moreover "Mactel." I found a few publications referring to it as such, but never anything official from Apple. In fact, it seems Apple prefers to gloss over CPU architecture entirely, which makes sense given their status amongst

No. You still haven't given any reason why WinTel should not be mentioned in this article. It is not "Q repackaged", but it is based off of some of the same code. Q has a different set of features than WinTel, while WinTel has superior performance. If WinTel was simply a commercial repackaging of

article on whether the machine would run other operating systems than Mac OS X (like Windows), such a discussion really belongs in a general article since both the new iMac and MacBook Pro share a very similar setup hardware wise, so anything running on one of them almost certanly can run to at least
1002:
The only difference is that Apple allows macOS itself to run as a guest on some hypervisors, such as VMware Fusion and Parallels Workstation; other than that, it's pretty much the same type of virtualization you can get on Windows and Linux and, for some hypervisors, other OSes. I'm not sure why it
665:
I can see no reason to exclude a particular product, though Knowledge (XXG) isn't a catalogue. One key point, however, is that this WinTel thing doesn't have a Knowledge (XXG) article, while Q does. References to things with articles are always preferable. Of course, that does lead to the suggestion

There is nothing wrong with creating a GUI for an open source product. However some people think that if you take someone else's work and sell it, that you should give something back to the people who did the actual work. OpenOSX give nothing back, and they only credits the people whose work they
620:
OpenOSX WinTel and Q are both ports of QEMU. OpenOSX WinTel is sold under the GPL, according to their website. Since your assertion that "OpenOSX WinTel is just Q renamed" is false, I'm putting the mention back in the article. If you think that OpenOSX is doing something wrong in their marketing
829:
I wasn't very impressed by this article I was hoping to find something about Intel Macs but found an article largely about BootCamp - ie windows on macs Intel Macs and Windows running on a Mac are not the same thing (Intel Macs came first btw) - they could even be separate articles as they're not
609:
Can you prove that? And even if it's true, does that mean that people reading the wikipedia article should not allowed to be aware of its existence? I'd bet that whoever owns OpenOSX probably would dispute your claim (I have no idea if it's true or not). It's a virtualization solution that's

All they have done is create a GUI that configures and launches Qemu. Specifically the version of QEMU ported to Mac OS X, otherwise known as "Q", hence the line "Special thanks to Gwenolé Beauchesne for his excellent Intel port of Fabrice Bellard's fast Qemu opensource virtual

has Apple's computers running the WIndows version of Photoshop better than 'designed for Windows' equivalent PC notebooks. I don't think a separate article is necessary. After all, there is no 'Linux on Mac hardware' article, even though there are
534:
I have been thinking of removing most of that section; seems to me that it can be replaced with something short like "By installing Windows XP on a Macintosh, users who want/need to run both operating systems can do so using a single computer".
166: 705:
I may just be misattributing quotes, but didn't you say "not even credit for their work", and now you indicate that their web site gives two specific credits? And what is wrong with creating a GUI for an open source product?
921:
Discussion of BootCamp and Dont Steal Mac OS X.kext seems irrelevant to the computer architecture. The only relevant parts seem to be EFI and GUID tables, and even those are just subsets of standard Intel PC architecture.
940:
Removed most of the irrelevant fluff. If there's any salient technical differences between an Intel Machintosh and a standard x86 PC, feel free to add. I figure OS X copy-protection should be discussed elsewhere.
759:
I agree with this Amit Singh is a respected researcher and have covered Mac OS X indepth. I've changed the article accordingly, if anyone has a good reference showing the TPM is used by Apple please provide it.
679:
Perhaps you could try reading their website, "WinTel is our popular Cocoa graphical user interface used to control the included powerful underlying open-source "Qemu" x86 virtualization/emulation software."
430: 1085: 552:
That whole section should go - there is a BootCamp page it links to with all the relevant information and a discussion about the benefits of multi-booting is important doesn't belong here either.
925:
Also most of the Google results for "Apple-Intel architecture" seem to point to copies of this page. Is there any proof that Apple ever actually used this as a term? Or is the whole premise OR?

should there be some discussion of the branding of Intel on Apple computers? all Dells ship with Intel stickers on the case and box, do Apple computers now have the same?

So is Knowledge (XXG) policy to only list free software, but not commercial packaging of that software we don't approve of? This discussion is full of moral judgements.

They all agree that Wintel does NOT have superior performance. They all agree that Wintel is just Q repackaged (previously it was Bochs repackaged).

Aranhamo, perhaps you should read up on the subject first. You said "It is not Q repackaged, but it is based off of some of the same code."

of WinTel, maybe you should add a mention to the Q article, or create a WinTel article (since it looks like there isn't one yet).

Amit Singh not only claims that the latest Mac models don't have a TPM chip, but that Apple never actually used it for anything.
87: 1090: 215: 773:
early on that TPM was used--as the article now states--does not appear to be dubious, as it was widely rumored and believed.
