With the announcement that Apple is switching to Intel, the computing world has been thrown a curve ball. Speculation will run rampant for the next year. We obviously won't know what's going to happen until it happens, but I see a bright future coming out of this. I see Apple with more headroom for the future to create better, faster designs. I see much more opportunity for the hacker community to work with this also.

Except this won't stop the Doom3 fiasco from happening again. IIRC, the major reasons Glenda Adams gave for the lackluster performance was a) it wasn't optimized enough for Mac OS X (less time spent from everyone optimizing for it) and b) Mac OS X's robust OpenGL architecture instead of the hackish Windows one that can get away with more things for more performance. Neither of these will change. GG.
