    I'm surprised it doesn't at this point.
    I'm guessing Apple doesn't want to deal with licensing all of the old third-party software.

    Somebody didn't read the article...

    My $0.02: you buy Apple when you don't particularly care about your freedom (or price competitiveness; but hey at least it works). Granted, most people should buy a netbook instead if they want to run real PC applications.

    I was referring to Apple releasing an Apple II emulator, not the rejected C64 app.

    Where in the article did it ever talk about why Apple will or won't develop a Apple II emulator? All I saw was a article written about this C64 emulator that they didn't grant a publishing license for.
