Top Ten Reasons why it is "Good" that Apple is Going to Intel

This is my first attemptive to exercise the proper GroupThink on Apple's announced transition to Intel chips.

10. It is the best test yet of Steve Jobs’s "reality distortion field."
9. It reminds us of the value of competition in the CPU marketplace. Or rather the lack thereof.
8. It will drive the sales of cold weather gear in Hades.
7. It confirms that Steve Jobs’s use of Intel chips in his NeXT machines was no mistake. Or at least it is a mistake he’s willing to make twice.
8. It gives half of the Computer columnists in the industry a chance to say "I told you so." That would be the half that has been wrong on everything regarding Aple for the last 20 years.
6. It gives Boeing a chance to measure the aerodynamic qualities of flying pigs.
5. It reminds us all that CISC chips are better than RISC chips. Or is it the other way around?
4. It paves the way for Apple to release their first version of the MacOS X that runs windows natively. They will call it OS/2.
3. It opens the way for Apple to replace Airport cards with Centrino chips. Which offers less than no advantage to current users.
2. It allows us to see Intel and PowerPC compete head-to-head in the Apple space. Apple vs. Apple has always made for compelling theater.
1. It adds credence to conspiracy theorists who claim that the real Steve Jobs was replaced last summer by an android which will soon be marketed under the brand name iCEO.
