Does that mean you can have osx on pc's, or will new mac's be delivered with Intel's?
Looks like Apple themselves switches sides in the mac. vs pc debate :P

Mebbe you Mackers can get some speed now.......without the jet engine fan noise.
T my last gig we stuck our Mac people in another room to keep em quiet. :)

Although I completely agree, my intention was not to create yet another pc vs mac thread.
So please, it's not my fault if you guys start bitchslapping eachother.
PC's are the best!!!

Hopefully this is the start of being able to make your own mac.

So I can use PC components? What *exactly* differs a mac from a pc then?
- Nirvous0
The move away from the current chip should open doors for speed and possibly lower prices. Those Apples are expensive.

mac uses powerpc
windows uses intel x86and no, mac is not leaving powerpc anytime soon, they're already getting ready to use the IBM Power4 970 chip. 64-bits, 2.5ghz, 900 fsb...it's all but confirmed. that should close the gap, if not beat it.
osx on x86 rumors were hot two months ago, but it seems the idea is that apple will release it if microsoft pisses them off sufficiently.

if I get a new mac, do I have to get nerdy artfag glasses and wear black all the time?
Just playing yall.

The only thing that would make me do the switch (currently pc) is if the mac allows me to run my pc software.
I was just curious if this lil change would make it possible.

I'd like a Mac with XP Pro on it. Not that I love the app by any means, but I do need the programs that run on it (ACAD and Max) and it'd be real dandy to have a snazzy looking laptop!
They'd take over the market if they did that and that's fine with me. I'd pay a little more for a nice looking, well designed package.
Apple folks, you listening?

ibm != intel
then again, macs can already run windows with vitual pc installed...but it runs it slowly, and in a window.
- jox0
what about the other way around?
- kpl0
possible but you'll need to program your own emulator.
