Apple Moving to Intel

The rumors have been circulating for weeks now and Steve Jobs (Apple CEO) has made it official - Apple is moving from PowerPC based processors to Intel x86 based processors. It seems that these will be special Mac/Intel machines and the Mac OS won't run on just any x86 machine that you pick up at Best Buy. It also seems that we will be forced to use Intel chips and not have a choice of using the cheaper (and arguably better) chips being put out by AMD. Personally I'm quite sad about this move. For the past 10 years we've been told that the PPC architecture is so much better than the x86 architecture and all of a sudden the x86 processors are better. I don't quite understand how that happens, but it's not like Jobs hasn't pulled this before - remember the firewire vs. USB 2.0 debate. Ugh.
