To all you Intel haters out there, all I have to say is, "I TOLD YOU SO!!"
So Apple is switching to x86 ala Intel processors and ditching the IBM PowerPC architecture. Well holy shit, I knew this just had to happen!
Admittedly I have limited experience with the Apple OS but the short couple months I had a G4 OSX10.3, I simply loved it. It was easy to use yet ready to satisfy my power hungry finger tips if I so desired simply by opening a terminal. The terminal is the true power of any *nix type operating system. Microsoft, are you listening? (probably not but who cares anyway.)
I guess we will know for sure on Monday according to this article over at C|net...

So the news of Apple switching to the Intel camp has the tech community in a buzz. All the normal news sites and blogs are swamped with people throwing in their "2 cents". Clearly, there are 3 popular opinions out there running wild. Here is where I think most of the people lie:
Those to welcome the change with open arms saying that the switch is a good thing for Apple and the PC industry as a whole Those that hate the change and say that Apple is going to loose customers, business, etc... and end up in hell blah blah blah Then there are those that are the skeptical type who will just wait until Monday to open their "pie holes"
Personally, I like the change. Why? Well cause I am too cheap to fork over for expensive Apple hardware and gear. If the change is indeed true, then I am sure that it will only be a matter of time before I will be running the Apple OS on my sweet PC!
