Apple are migrating the Mac from the PPC CPU to the x86 over the
next
two years. x86 based Macs are available for developers now, and the
first x86 Macs for sale to the general public will be available
within
a year.
Yep. Apple wants a piece of the TCPA/Palladium Pie.
They could probably could get that just as well if they had gone with
AMD, whose processors are superior almost every which way to Intel's.
No, I think Intel made them an offer they couldn't refuse, and IBM
refused to match.
Perhaps. But it _is_ about the fact the Apple is becoming a
Content-Cartel-Control-Pimp and TCPA/Palladium fit with their new
business model.
It seems more likely that the laptop issue was the straw that broke
the camel's back here. Laptop sales have overtaken desktop sales and
are still growing and Apple has nothing from IBM or Freescale to
build future laptop models around.
