Richard,
I don't think apple will move to x86 at this stage, I do think they are
partening with intel for other chips that are not the CPU, like
wireless chips and stuff like that. The Altivec thingy is not present
on x86 chips right? so we would loose lots of number crunching
features... it would be wise to partner with intel for their chips but
not for changing CPU architecture...
PS: ... Actually I like ppc and am fond of ARM and hate x86.... but I
am a romantic fool :D
cheers

The proof will of course be in the pudding, but things bode well for
greater multi-platform consistency for us developers....
