I think this will hurt Apple in the short term, but might be okay in the long term. It'll also be the final nail for the OS4 line. I'm sure Hyperion are smacking their heads for not writing OS4 for the the Intel/AMD chips. Oh well.

Customers are screaming for faster hardware, Apple was in turn screaming to IBM, IBM was in turn masterbating or playing tetris or anything else that doesn't include answering the cries for speed. This change is a response to the customers screams.
The only flaw here is that Intel's Pentium 4 line has kinda hit a wall of it's own. Do you expect to see a 4Ghz P4 any time soon?

What I don't understand is why Apple didn't make a deal with AMD?

Has Apple revealed which Intel chip they plan on using in their next gen Mac? I have a feeling it's not gonna be from the Pentium line up. In which case, all this talk of Windows & Linux is meaningless.
