Now it all makes sense...Mac is going to use Intel chips...the first of which is likely to be in the Mac Mini...hence Intel initiated this proof of concept. No wonder it looks so much like a Mini...it IS next year's Mac Mini! I bet we see this thing on the stage later today.

No, they won't change the look of the mini - but I'm sure this probably was a proof of concept done by Intel to show Apple, "Yup, a Pentium-M based Mac mini is feasible."
I find it hilarious, all those Mac zealots crying foul for Intel copying the design when this is probably exactly what Apple ordered from Intel. It is okay now that we know that the design of this machine was probably requested by Apple? It doesn't have the Apple design polish yet, but technically it has everything Apple is looking for.
