It was strange to hear that Apple is really going to switch to Intel chips soon in the future. Was the PowerPC faith all for nothing?! They are going to produce a program called Rosetta that can convert old PPC code to Intel code, at an estimated speed of around 70 to 80 percent of native. Motley Fool on the Chip Wars. Also ZDnet on "Just one straw remains on the camel's back" in this case.
Macs basically don't get viruses, Except of course there are macro viruses in Microsoft Office documents. But check out the tales on this thread at DealMac.com. Doesn't that sound better than the Windows experience?
A story about switching from Mac to PC in an office. Well, strange stuff for Apple, what can I say?
