Apple to move to Intel?

I'm just wondering if this will make Macs less mac-like. Like Donnie kinda said, this could make Mac just another PC distrubutor with an Mac OS.

I saw a little more on this earlier, Jobs said that he would not allow Mac OX # to run on anything other than Apple Macs, and that he wouldn't prevent anyone from running Windows on the new Intel based systems, although they wouldn't support/sell/etc Windows for Macs.

So it kinda looks like they'll still have their systems going out, just with the x86 hardware. So yeah, time will tell.
