[Ti] The reason we use Macs instead of PC's (long)

[alexandre]

thanks for those in-depth explanations. while i can see your point  
technically, this still doesn't explain why in 3 years (34 months to  
be exact) our powerbooks have gone from 1ghz to 1.67

my (un-educated) opinion is that, yes, it comes down to a marketing  
decision. apple is/was too dependant on ibm for their chips,  
representing only 2% (?) of their sales. in that sense, i am happy  
apple had a plan B, just in case…

the future? i hope that, because os x is better than windows, our mac  
intels will run faster than the "other" intels, and/or apple will  
continue using ppc in some of their computers.

my two cents
