Zoltan,
I think your conclusion, from your analysis, is an accurate assessment.
I also think that assessment is similar among those of this list.
Additionally, that the message of your conclusion is very similar to
messages previously posted to this list. So my analysis of your thought
on the subject leads me to conclude with the assessment that the
posters to this list generally are in accord about the issue of Apple
switching to Intel, that it's no big deal, or that is is no where near
as big a deal as some people are making it out to be. Apple Macs will
be Apple Macs, no matter what CPU is in the system. Apple Macs will
still be on the leading edge of design and be a cut above PCs.
[the following is humor, so please take this salt shaker before
reading] :-)
So, Zoltan, were glad you caught up with us. Welcome to the party! Oh,
and there is still plenty of hors d'oeuvres and refreshments. Hmmnf,
delicious. So please, help yourself. Those Motorola chips over there
are pretty good, [in a whisper] but they're about to go stale, so be
forewarned. [resume full voice] Oh, and the crow isn't that bad
actually. Tastes kind of like chicken. ;-)
Have a great weekend all!
Best regards,
Scott

Subject: Is Apple really moving to x86 architechture?!
Date: Thu, 16 Jun 2005 21:09:09 -0700
Hello All,
I just had to add one more thought on this subject, and wanted to see
if anyone agrees. After reading all the input from this invaluable
list group, and listening to the radio (Leo Laporte has said some VERY
interesting things when it comes to Apple moving to Intel on AM 640),
and reading all the relevant articles in mags I have come to a very
logical and realistic conclusion:
The proverbial gap between PC's and Mac's will not change. In fact, I
honestly think that NOTHING will change at all. Call me an optimist,
but the only thing that's going to happen besides faster Macs overall,
is that one day a PC user will be going over to his/her old friends
house who happens to be a Mac user and that Mac user will tell his/her
PC user, "hey did you know that my Mac has an Intel designed
processor?" The astonished PC user will just be that. . .astonished.
Then they'll go about their business. I expect nothing more, nothing
less. Macs will still be "just above" PC's, PC's will still dominate
the business world, and Mac's will still dominate the design world.
Anyone agree? Or is everyone leaning on Laporte's side saying that
"this move is a stake in Apple's heart"
Zoltan
