I think that the switch to Intel is a good thing.
Apple needed good processors that were efficient and powerful. The G4 was NOT efficient, and NOT powerful. The G5 was NOT efficient at all.
The CoreDuo is Powerful and Efficient -- exactly what Apple needs.
Motorola totally screwed Apple over with their pathetic G3 and G4 processors. IBM didn't do much better with the G5 -- sure the G5 is super powerful, but IBM had promised a clock speed of over 3ghz by the beginning of
last summer. I guess that to make amends for this they added a couple more cores and called it good. :sigh:
Intel is a company that can deliver, and Apple is a company that needs delivery.
Hopefully, by the end of this summer I'll have saved up enough to buy either the new iMac, or the new MacBook (The 'ol iBook is starting to show her age
)
