Sorry I'm tardy. I think this move is a good one. It is early and who knows what effects will arise down the road, but so far, I think if Intel can do it with higher speeds and less power consumption, I'm all for it. Mr. Jobs, you now have my approval to proceed with this transition. The thing I wonder about most is how long it will be until I can run OS X on a Dell. Not that I dig on Dells, but it would be cool to run OS X on junk hardware just for kicks. Also, the Linux camp is a bit worried about this whole change because of it's implications for their favorite OS. Dangit, I missed press time. Sorry I’m tardy. I think this move is a good one.

I would venture to guess that early adopters will wait before buying, but lots of people don't want the latest and greatest and if prices drop temporarily some people, maybe most people, will be ok with this. Just a thought. Is there really any proof that an announcement like this affects sales?

The thing keeping me from buying a mac is that I can an equivilent PC (in everything but coolness factor, that is) for half the cost. Oh, and I wouldn't expect G5 powerbooks too soon-- those chips run pretty hot from what I've heard... Other than Intel (which now has even more of a monopoly), the big winner is the consumer!

Oh, and I wouldn’t expect G5 powerbooks too soon– those chips run pretty hot from what I’ve heard…

The question is how does this announcement effect sales? How many people are going to wait like they were for the g5? Outside the good or bad about this transition.
