Was it Palol Rossetti that one said, "People in glass house shouldn't throw stones?" Push away the Intel this, the Pentium-M that, or perhaps the ability to use the Dual Core Pentium 4, Apple has a much bigger challenge ahead of them. For years, they have been throwing down the MHz myth and now? They are sleeping with the "enemy" according to PowerPC zealots.

The UNIX BSD kernel that MacOS is based on is very lean and very fast. it will provide a response time to desktop users far better than that provided by WinXP.
MacOS on Intel will FEEL faster than WinXP even if the throughput server benchmarks are not hugely different.
Not that I'm a Mac zealot or anything, this is Operating Systems Design 101 from my CompSci under grad days.
