I have no real contribution to this story alleging Apple's upcoming transition to Intel processors, except to say that while I did think it was odd for Intel's CEO to be pushing Macs on computer owners who were sick of spyware, I expect these claims will prove more wrong than right on Monday morning. That Apple will use Intel chips in something seems plausible, and frankly less interesting than a local restaurant changing its beef supplier, but a wholesale transition away from PPC is a huge reach.

I respect Cnet's putting the story out there in a way that appears falsifiable, unlike the great majority of anonymously-sourced rubbish about sweeping changes to Apple's underpinnings, but their story doesn't make the prospect of an architectural switch sound any more credible than the rumors were last week, or eighteen months ago. 11:54PM «
