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.

Lots of people have been playing make-believe pundit since Jobs made his announcement. Like this rant, most of them create a bogus premise for Apple's decision and then proceed to beat on that bogus premise with equally bogus suppositions.
Unless you're on Apple's board, you're gonna hafta take Jobs at his word: Apple wants to sell things that IBM chips won't support.
Now, if Apple is really will to keep the few zealous customers who buy Macs solely because they've got PowerPC chips inside them at the risk of losing the rest of the world who don't care what's in the machine, then Jobs should be fired, quickly.
So, get a clue. If you were selling PC's and consumer electronic toys, and your current chip vendor was makng you unhappy, where else would you go but Intel? (Yeah, there's AMD. Wait two years and we'll know why they went to Intel instead. But, the simplest expanation is that Intel gave them a better deal.)
