It's official: Apple to Use Intel Microprocessors Beginning in 2006
I have mixed feelings about this. Mainly because I don't have enough information in front of me at the moment about the deal, or how all of this will work out.
Does this mean that Apple is about to declare OS war on Microsoft?
Will Apple architecture remain proprietary?
Will PC manufacturers make PCs with MacOS pre-installed?
How well does Intel scale as compared to Cell?
Will this mean more Windows/Intel Programmers will make the switch to Apple?
I also know that this announcement means months from now I will receive questions that begin with: "I bought this Toshiba laptop, and I want to get MacOS installed on this..." Woe to the Apple Geniuses who work the Genius Bar, for I cannot even fathom the sheer ridiculousness of questions they are about to receive.
