Yeah, maybe, but so what? I for one am disappointed at Apple's sole use of Intel and not AMD, it makes an already dominant chip maker even worse. I've run into issues, such as with Rosetta, running OS X on an AMD, so if I want to boycott Intel, that leaves me with PowerPC or other OSes on other chips. And since Fedora 10 has managed to stop starting XWindows because of proprietary vs open driver issues, I don't think Linux-based OSes are about to replace anything. So frustrating.
