Well, It's Official ... Apple to Use Intel Microprocessors Beginning in 2006

[Ken Schweigert]

I guess this was announced during WWDC today.

http://www.apple.com/pr/library/2005/jun/06intel.html

Althought I don't see any specific info on the chips being X86, but
with a Transition Kit available doesn't leave much hope for it staying
PPC.

For me, PPC was the major selling point for running linux on Mac
hardware.  Little-endian, big-endian; not susceptible to intel-based
buffer overflows, etc.  It doesn't seem like there will be much of a
reason to buy Mac hardware anymore since the insides of it will be the
same as the insides of an X86 box I can build.

Could this be the end??
