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.

Want to bet OS X 10.5 will be able to use Windows drivers? It's the same processor, same I/O architecture, why not the same driver binaries. We'd get the upside of cheap add on hardware and timely, reasonable driver support and we'll avoid the downside of dealing with Windows.
Of course, my other theory is that OS X 10.5 Leopard IS Windows Longhorn. Microsoft may have thrown in the towel on Longhorn and Gates has cut a deal with Jobs for the next generation of Windows. At least Apple can still release operating systems.
