Im fairly new to being a registered memeber to Macrumors, but I have been paying attention to the threads for a year now. I laugh almost everytime I read some of these. Sure they have good insight to what might happen. But these guys who claim to be "mac-know-it-alls" seem to be wrong with their predictions almost everytime. I feel like Im watching chats from the comic book nerd/guy on simpsons. They all think they know eveyrthing, and they don't. Its absolutley foolish to think that Intel has some alterior motive for Macs. Why would it be bad if Intel made processors? THey make chips that compute info, they have nothing to do with traditional PC's or Microsoft, they just make chips for them. Steve Jobs is right, IBM has failed, there genius G5 has failed almost all of its benchmarks. It was supposed to perform much much faster than it has, at this point we are supposed to be at 3.5. Not to mention, its a huge bulky chip, that they swore would be scaled down within the first year, and now its 2.5 years later and still nothing. Lets not forget the promise that it was a new chip, so it would run hot, and within a year that would be fixed too. My powerbook practically burns my lap when i use it, and its only a G4. In my opinion they have failed miserably. and if Intel is going to put out faster, cooler, smaller processors...then why are we complaining? Not to mention, any who thinks OSX will be running on Dells are just even more foolish than anyone thought. I think everyone will be surpised when they see how fast OSX will run, once the transformation is complete, and how Mac will totally dominate the market with the new Power book. A rumor from good sources say next Julys powerbook will be the thinest, lighest laptop to hit markets, with batterlifes in the 8 hour range. GO MAC AND INTEL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
