Apple Threw The Intel Switch

The keynote was good, if not a little short and a little anti-climatic… and the more I think about the switch, the more I like it. Imagine two of the dual core pentiums just announced in a tower a few years from now.. wow!

And imagine a dual core, low power pentium in a powerbook..

I’ve heard a lot of doom and gloom at WWDC today from various people.. but I look at it as an opportunity for the future, a potential expanding of the mac market share to 30% in 5 years.

I also think now is the time to purchase a Mac if you’ve been holding off.. what better time to buy one now, something nice and fast, and then in two years or so upgrade to the latest and greatest Mac box with an Intel chip.

Ok.. super tired, getting up in six hours for breakfast with some co-workers. Night. More general impressions tomorrow. (I’m only staying this year until Wednesday, flying home wednesday night).

I’m going to make my TiBook last until a Macintel Powerbook ships - I don’t see any reason to spend all that money on something that is a) not that much faster and b) No geeky different enough
I am intrigued also - Can’t wait to see how this plays out.
