The UK's Manchester University gave birth to the technology behind Rosetta, Apple's emulation solution that will allow new Intel-based Macs to run unaltered PowerPC code.
According to reports, Rosetta is heavily based on software developed by Transitive Technologies a Silicon Valley start-up whose founder and CTO Alasdair Rawsthorne developed the technology in 1995 at the University of Manchester.
Transitive's software allows applications to run on multiple processors and operating systems without source code or binary changes.
