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.

"I also bet you will be able to drop in any new processor or video card you want."
Bwahahahaha!
Apple letting it's users add a faster CPU? That's rich! These are gonna be *APPLE* PC's. Not your average PC.
If Apple allowed it's users to add a faster CPU, why buy a newer model of Intel Mac? Notice how the ONLY thing that was EVER changed about the G5's since their inception, was the CPU speed? All they did was slap a faster CPU in the thing and call it a new system! Wow!
Unless Apple takes the Microsoft route and starts trying to support every single card out there, you can bet your farm that only a thin selection of video cards will work on the Intel Mac, to keep Apple's headaches to a minimum.
Apple's got a lot of figuring out to do on this new Intel roadmap. I only hope it turns out ok...
