I love Intel. Working for a PC shop I quickly learned that if you want
reliability and quality Intel was the way to go, at the cost of higher
prices. Intel offers a 3 year over night parts replacement warranty to
all vendors. Meaning the little shop I worked for could offer the same
warranty to customers. They could bring the defective part back and
Intel would ship a part out the same day to be received the next.
I got into Macs because I started working for a high school and
curiosity. I'm typing this in Mail on 10.2 right now. I love it, just
wish I had more money to blow so I could get a mini or something. This
old G3 400 has certainly seen it's day :)
So I think the move is good. Especially since it should mean cheaper
PowerMacs. I also think it will encourage more people to switch because
Intel is a popular recognizable manufacturer. Apple can combine the
reliability of it's own OS with the reliability and speed of Intel.
Although Mac's now are pretty darn reliable.
This basically provides Apple with a cheaper way to build PC's and
advance their software. I have never thought of Apple as a hardware
provider since it's their OS that everyone wants to use. No one buy's
an Apple just so they can put Linux on it. So although tit may tick off
a lot of Mac users you will all convert (mwuuhahaha! lol) because you
want to use a reliable convenient OS like Mac OS. The same reason I am
using an Old BnW versus my Athlon64 3400+ :)
I just had to weigh in because of my love for all things computers, PC
and Mac :)
