Yup, hinesight is 20/20, and his is spot on. Intel was the big desktop CPU maker and they should have hitched their wagons to it and not to IBM/Mot with their history of delayed CPU releases. Five years later when AMD hit the market with the K-5s would have been the best time to switched to Intels and use the threat of using AMD as a way to beat down Intel's pricing. Might have been a different OS landscape had Apple gone Intel. Piracy is what gave M$ the upper hand in the desktop market, it might have been kind to Apple as well had there been a chance to bring Apple into more offices around the world as the computer revolution took root.
