RE[4]: PPC

- is just nonsense. PPC delivered in spades. Apple switched to Intel for two reasons: Intel gave them a better deal for processors, and it made it easier for Macs to play Windows games... and that second reason is probably more important than the first.

No they switched because the PPC couldn't deliver when it came to processing/power. Intel was leagues ahead when it came to power efficiency and Jobs couldn't wait for IBM to catch up.

Yes, but the statement about Windows is correct. There are a lot of people who need Windows on their job. A lot more than those who need a Mac, and with an x86 chip Apple can serve both worlds. And Linux and everything else.
People loves Macs, and they're much more prone to buy them if they know they can always run Windows.
