From Wintel to Mactel
OK, so what did
you think when Apple announced the switch to Intel processors? If you don't know what I'm talking about,
here's the story. My first thought was that Apple is going to finally get out of the hardware business, something they should have done years ago.
Robert Cringely has an interesting take on all this. He sees this as a way for Apple (read: Jobs) to finally beat Microsoft (read: Gates). Check out his column on it
here. Short term, this probably means a drop in market share for Apple, but longer term this could be their inroads into the business computing market and, ultimately, a more competitive OS playing field.
