The grapevine proved to be true. Steve Jobs announced that Apple was going to shift to Intel platform.What can I say? I bought a Mac Mini just a few weeks ago.
Actually, I am having a mixed feeling, I have been expecting that Apple might release the intel version of Mac OSX if they think it would bring them more profit. And sure there is the intel version of Darwin already on Darwin Project page. I will welcome OSX or more Aqua, which provides far more sophisticated user interface than X11's window managers, if it run on intel platforms.
But on the other hand, I'd like apple to keep making more 'digital gadget'-type personal computers along with the idea and design which made apple possible to create 'iPod'. Mac mini really pleased me with its stylish design and quieteness. My satisfaction with the Mac mini is quite akin to the feeling when I got my audio set. Even if Mac OSX run on my old intel machine, I wouln't have been half impressed.
