Intel Inside?
Sometime in the next hour, Apple's CEO Steve Jobs is widely expected to announce that Apple will be moving their enitre Macintosh line to the same Intel processors that power the vast majority of Windows computers.
This has spawned a ton of online speculation about the impact of such a move. Most are a little nervous about embrace one half of the "Wintel" hegemony and a majority are very concerned about losing developers and market share due to a confusing switch the platform.
My take? Power my laptop with a hampster wheel if it will boost my Quake framerate. Seriously, I don't really care what's inside my computer. I care about what it can do. I have every confidence that Apple will continue to make insanely great products that do what they're designed to do extremely well. The name brand of the chip it's done on is of little consequence to me.
Apple has more than enough know-how, money, and trust from its user base to see this kind of a transition through. Lord knows I'm not going anywhere.
