The Rumors Were True
Man oh man do I embellish on stuff like this: Steve Jobs announced today that Apple will be making the transition from IBM PowerPC chips to Intel chips, finally putting an end on the rumors that have circulated in the tech community this past several weeks. During the WWDC conference today it was revealed that Mac OSX was built from the ground up with a "just-in-case" scenario, and now that IBM has hit a wall in processing speed for its Power PC line, Apple has no choice but to go with Intel. Even cooler is the fact that the Keynote was running off an Intel Pentium 4 processor, squashing rumors that Apple would have to spend millions of dollars to restructure OSX to work with Intel chips.
