Journal Penguin Follower's Journal: Mac OS X 10.5 Server article on networkcomputing.com 1

I stumbled upon a pretty decent article covering a review of Mac OS X 10.5 Server (Leopard).

On of my favorite parts of the article is a reminder about how all versions of OS X reside on the same disk. In fact, every installation is all things: Intel/PPC/32bit/64bit. From TFA:

The installation DVD contains 32- and 64-bit code for Intel and PowerPC Mac platforms. In fact, every in-place build of Leopard is 32/64 and Intel/PPC. To test Apple's claims, we built a server on a dual G5 server using an external Firewire drive as our boot partition. We then successfully booted and ran Leopard from the Firewire drive on a six-year-old dual G4 Xserve and a 13" Macbook (32-bit platforms) and Xeon and G5 Xserves for 64-bit goodness. All platforms had wildly different hardware configurations, yet the OS ran without a single issue on each box, all server functionality intact.

Anyone out there willing to try that with Windows 2003?

Muahahaha! :D I love that last comment. I only wish I could work with Apple stuff on a regular basis. While I have a Mac in my mix of hardware at home, everything I do at my current job centers around Microsoft solutions. :( Oh well. Go Apple, Go! :)
