Apple On Intel? Not Likely.
Neff obviously hasn't seen the Phil Schiller "Megahertz Myth" presentation. While OS X makes this more feasible - BSD will run on the x86 architecture - the effort to get the OS and apps moved would be tremendous. Remember that some vendors still haven't moved their apps to OS X from OS 9 - a move to a completely new architecture would be an extremely difficult sell.
Why I Hate Advertisers - Chapter 4
Hmmm...it's true, no matter how cynical you get, you just can't keep up. The latest advertising program that treats buyers as idiots.
No, really, it's a good deal. You just don't understand.
"Regardless of opinion, Licensing 6.0 will likely prove very successful for Microsoft. After all, what other options do its large customers have?" Quite a few actually. The parallels between Microsoft now and IBM in the late 80's and early 90's are simply stunning. Arrogant, abusive, and alienated. IBM learned - to Microsoft's happiness and financial reward - that their customers did have options. Microsoft is about to learn the same lesson.

Analyst: Apple to lie down with Intel. Will the Mac maker pick up Intel's chips? Signs point to yes, says Andrew Neff, the analyst who foresaw the HP-Compaq merger. He also predicts Sun will ally with Dell. [CNET News.com]
