Switched On: The Year of the Switch {Engadget}

Dec 22nd 2005 1:01PM the apple/intel thing is not real.. it is to generate interest for x86 programmers to come over to OSX.. this will all result in a x86 version of OSX, which will be feature crippled in comparison to the PPC version.. IBM will continue to develop and manufacture PPCs (G5/G6/G7) for both desktop and game consoles..

go back and look at the boxes Apple was selling to the x86 developers when the Apple/Intel union was announced.. it was a G5 case with a generic PS, and a generic MB haphazardly installed into a current fab G5 case.. if Apple was serious about having an x86 based box, they would have had something already designed before the anouncement.. not something that a 15YO with a screwdriver can do..

i think it's BS, the move to intel.. moving to intel would be stupid at this point.. i don't mean "x86", but i mean to be supplied by the company intel..

there will be a marketed OSX-x86 made.. it will run on any x86 box, not Apple-branded x86 boxes, and will have certain functions slightly crippled to draw x86 users into moving to the PPC-based Apple branded boxes..

and if Apple actually moves to x86, and produces x86 boxes??

why would i buy an Apple when there are so many other x86 boxes that are cheap as dirt?? style can only float you so long.. look at sony.. Apple will get killed in the cheap x86 market.. cannot compete with an OS and a fashion statement at a exorbitant cost..

but, a low cost x86 based OSX that is designed to pull users away from microsoft and into a new PPC-based box would work..
