Apple with Intel Inside
About two years ago, computer guru Rush Limbaugh
said that "The G5 is going to go to 64-bits, and it's going to change
everything." The first part of his statement was a simple matter of fact, while
the second part was a prediction. Just two years later, one can argue that
Rush's prediction has, in an odd way, come to pass. Beginning next year, Apple
Macintosh computers will have Intel inside. Why? Because of IBM's priorities
and failure to put out satisfactory G5s, both 3+ GHz and those that could be put
into a laptop. I don't think that Apple had much choice.
It will be interesting to see how the
Apple-Intel deal affects sales of Macs over the next year.
