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.

"Apple should really bring out their entire line with Pentium M chips even for desktops I would say"
I think that's where they are headed, judging by the performance comparisons S. Jobs was making. By the time of the official x86 Apple launch next year, Intel is planning on dumping the P4 netburst architecture and transitioning to their Pentium M on the desktop. It will more than likely be a dual-core part as well. Apple is demoing with a P4 right now because that's whats out for the time being.
