*nod* A combo that lets them create system architectures that

Yes and no. MS doesn't dictate hardware or system architectures. So
long as drivers are there MS windows could run on anything.
However, they also don't *help* Intel build systems, which is Welch's
point.
The potential exists for some really fruitful collaboration between
Apple and Intel that will move both their products ahead.
This will trickle down to the Windows world, Intel knows who buys
MOST of their chips after all, but Apple will get first use of them,
meaning Apple WILL be able to say 'we're faster than any Dell', and
Apple will get a chunk of what Intel makes selling them, too.
This, however, is a generation or more down the road. We're talking
2010-era stuff now.
