I particularly love the ones that are both right and wrong:
72. Try the industry-standard serial port plug. RS-422 should be a last resort.
(They replaced RS-422 not with RS-232, but USB)
14. Do something creative with the design of the box and separate yourselves from the pack. [...] We'd all feel better about shelling out the bucks for a Power Mac 9600 if we could get a tower with leopard spots.
(Obviously Wired shouldn't be handing out design advice.)
28. Don't lose your sense of humor. Build a very large life preserver and display it in front of your Cupertino, California, headquarters.
(Their new headquarters is the life preserver.)
44. Continue your research in voice recognition. It's the only way you're going to compete in videoconferencing and remote access.
(That's totally not what Siri is for.)
76. Make damn sure that Rhapsody runs on an Intel chip. Write a Windows NT emulator for Rhapsody's Intel version.
(They switched to Intel purely for the sake of Intel, and never made that Windows emulator.)
Was it the Intel switch that enabled bootcamp though? That's clearly a better solution than maintaining a windows emulator, but does it meet the same point?
Not only did it enable Boot Camp, it also enabled third party Windows VMs like Parallels and Virtual box, and third party Windows API reimplementations (namely Wine)
Was there never any native virtualization on the PPC chips, or were there just no software written for it? I guess there was never much demand among Mac users to virtualize on PPC.
It did, but that was a really low priority for Apple: they shipped two generations of Intel Macs before releasing Bootcamp and the firmware updates that added BIOS emulation. They would have switched to Intel regardless of whether it gained them any form of Windows compatibility, because they needed more efficient processors.
