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 feel like crap because I just got my G5 and now Steve is saying that Intel processors are better than PPC processors.
How is he going to convince new users of buying his products for the next year if they will come with something better?
Also, I know he is planning to support our PPC computers for while using universal binaries....but for how long???
But.....after seeing the presentation and I must admit that Steve made the right decision. I hope to see 2-4 processors running at the same time on the new Macs. If they just come with just one crappy one....I won't buy it. If the Xbox is coming with 3 PPC processors for $300, I am pretty sure that Steve can do better than that. Pls, Steve, give us something very special.
