Because your bank doesn't like you making withdrawals? ;) I presume that Steve Jobs' intention was not to halt all Mac sales for the indefinite future, disgruntle all recent switchers, spook anyone who was considering switching or upgrading in the near future, and putting a knife through developers' prospects. I imagine he's done a good job of doing exactly that, though. Will be interesting to see the Intel equivalents of the AltiVec and Xserve products, esp. given the inevitable Mac-vs-Windows-vs-Linux performance comparisons (eg. Adobe Photoshop for workstations, Apache for servers, etc.). I wonder how Rosetta will perform, too. Presumably Apple will try to do a better job than Sun has done with its years of messing around with x86 vs SPARC.
