This is a copy/paste from an email I sent out rambling on about why on God's green earth would Apple switch (bad pun) to Intel processors.
I guess if I had $3000 to throw away I would buy the PowerMac that I've been pretending to save up for (it'll be a collector's item). Because Apple has announced the transition to Intel do you think anyone would want to buy a current Mac? Do you realize in 2 years our Macs will be outdated? Did you know my ear is still fucking killing me?
This decision by Apple really and truly is bothering me... Apple had something special and all because the Intel chips run cooler... that's flawed logic... Apple uses the SAME processors in their desktops and Laptops. Intel has specific processors for Laptop's, The Pentium M, who's top speed is currently at 2.1Ghz. They're great processors but Power PC processors are still faster and Job's all but admitted that during his keynote address. It's all because they run cooler. They better 'white box' OS X 10.5 Leopard or SERIOUSLY drop the prices of their hardware into the realm of what Dell is charging. To me this is almost unforgivable... I'm sure the die hard Mac users won't have a problem because they're either too brainwashed or stupid to care...
