They'll be able to....but will they even try? I mean it can't be that much price difference at this point now in just the cores......I don't own apple b/c it cost so much....hence why i'm on this site....I want that apple stuff, but I want it for free.

hopefully that means being able to install Mac OS X on ALL of my current computers... unless apple plans on using Pentiums without x86 architecture. which will be good.

i love how they are using QuickTransit's emulation technology for the transition...that's very cool. I sure wish there was a way for me to play HL2 on my mac... sigh.

note how i am greedily rubbing my hands together in anticipation

i just hope that apple's computers stay appealing like they are now
