Re: [News] Apple to ditch IBM, switch to Intel chips
Microsoft will be more then happy to have apple as a competitor then linux, apple does the business the same way as microsoft does (no open source), and apple will not only be competing with microsoft but also linux. and the x86-64 platform is still virgin, no mature os is available yet, apple can use this oppertunity while longhorn is late and whipe out any chances of linux dominating that area and then microsoft can deal with apple with linux not being much of a threat.
