Very high. Clearly, there's no GeekPort on the Power Mac, nor are there standard MIDI ports, IR ports or multiple serial ports. Joysticks are kind of tricky also.

But just about every BeOS application we've tried out has seemed to work fine on both platforms.

Will my Mac applications be able to run on the BeOS?
