Last year, we heard the great anecdote about an Apple engineer porting Mac OS X to Intel-based hardware.

i’d like to discuss the possibility of me becoming responsible for an intel version of MacOS X.

whether that’s just as an engineer, or as a project/ technical lead with another person – whatever.

i’ve been working on the intel platform for the last week getting continuations working, i’ve found it interesting and enjoyable, and, if this (an intel version) is something that could be important to us i’d like to discuss working on it full-time.
