I’m still digesting today’s Apple/Intel announcement. A few thoughts:

• Ditching PowerPC is a smart, albeit risky move for Apple
• I wish they had chosen AMD instead of Intel
• AMD is far more congruent with Apple’s “cool alternative” image
• They’re a lot closer to being an AMD customer than they were yesterday
• Rosetta (the PPC emulation layer) better be really good
• The WINE project may suddenly experience a giant influx patches from Apple engineers
