Apple's switch to intel chips...

They did it. They really did it. That is the craziest thing. The timing? So weird...

However, the cell processor isn't ready for computers yet, so maybe that's part of it. With the new universal binaries they'll be able to fairly easily span both worlds, and maybe they'll keep it that way, or go to the cell later? Who knows

Better still, imagine wine on OS X... Apple could integrate wine, spruce it up a bit, and kill windows dead. Just a thought. This may be a very offensive move... They wouldn't need to announce this feature now. They could announce that feature with OS 10.5, or with the intel-based macs, or whenever. That would be killer, though. Absolutely killer. Then buying a Mac would be VERY Tempting indeed. Spend a little bit of premium (you know macs will still cost a bit more) and be able to run all your favorite apps, plus all the mac apps, on a mac. Make it possible to dual boot into windows? You could... although you might not need to. Heck, since apple's designs are so slick you might see pc users buying macs just to run windows on them because the macs are cooler looking, just like they buy mac monitors and such. I think this is VERY aggressive....
