Ars Technica on MacTel.

KC sent this link to a fairly reflectful article on Apple's planned transition from PowerPC to Intel architecture -

http://arstechnica.com/columns/mac/mac-20050607.ars .

Key elements

+ Steve Job's disappointment in not seeing a G5 chip for the PowerBook line
+ IBM's lack of interest
+ Microsoft has to pay close attention
+ Really, only Geeks care

Missing elements are

+ is the "PC" relevant anymore ? (Is the net the computer? Is google the operating system ?)
+ is the "Mac" relevant anymore ? (Isn't the iPod the next generation computer for the "rest" of us?)
+ ?
