Dude, think a little harder.
This will NOT be a hard transition for apple and they get:
(1) a chipmaker that can meet demand
(2) a chipmaker that is going to keep innovating with the rest of the market (look at their lack of a powerbook g5 from ibm!)
(3!) a platform that is going make people say "why not try a mac" -- if they don't like mac apps for some reason, they can still run all of their windows applications at NATIVE speeds or they can install windows over os x -- or dual boot.
I really can't think about one reason for Apple to not go through with this -- and it's too late for them to take it back. I'm happy. More people WILL be leaving the Windows platform.
