This is full of win. The Nvidia software development kit (SDK) is being made available for MACs. From the article:
"The programming environment, which is still in beta, provides a kind of language framework for working with GPUs and lets Leopard developers program certain Nvidia graphics processors to do general computing tasks just like their CPU brethren."
This is certainly not necessary for Apple hardware machines, but is inevitable if OS X is to be released for the unwashed masses (myself included, please!) of PC users. It's a step in the direction of Apple being able to compete with Microsoft across all hardware/laptop platforms. I can't afford the hardware, but would love to use that operating system. And I'm sure I'm not alone.
