Apple to move to Intel processors?

“Comments on News.Com story that Apple plans to dump IBM in favor of Intel.” Dave discusses a rumor that Apple plans to announce at the Worldwide Developer Conference on Monday that it is ending its partnership with IBM and switching its computers to use Intel microprocessors. Dave speculates that this would be a significant announcement for developers, as it would require them to adapt their applications. He suggests this move could allow Apple to more directly compete with Microsoft in the operating system market, as Apple’s software would no longer be tied to a specific hardware platform.
