One idea that no one here has floated so far is what if Apple is moving to Intel, but not to x86? Perhaps they're going to move to Intel and get them to make PPC for them.
Although I don't know exactly what was in the supply and development contracts that Apple and IBM signed, I do know that IBM promised them quite a bit more than they've actually delivered (3Ghz) and that there was very serious penalty clauses for not delivering on it, including giving Apple substantial control over the IP related to PPC. Isn't a lot of PPC an Open Standard already anyway? I'm guessing we'll know all by tomorrow morning, once Steve Jobs has delivered his Keynote address at WWDC, in any case it's going to fascinating to see what comes out. What new wonders will we see? Mac OS X on x86? Windows on Apple/Intel hardware? Intel PPC chips? Maybe it's all BS and someone is laughing their arse off about how far we've all been sucked in? Only time will tell. :P -- Need to get in touch?
