I apologise to those who thought my submission was inappropriate. I was mostly curious about the security implications of the switch. Personally I don't see much a difference between the chips and I agree to many of the comments regarding the increased versatility of the new computers.
My main concern with the switch was the DRM issue, but those who have touched on it here seem to think that Apple will handle the issue in a way that preserves the security and integrity of the system. Maybe I shouldn't, but I trust you all on that.
Having recently purchased a little iBook with little need to do more that surf and mince words, I think I'll hold out until the IntelMacs have been around long enough to get the bugs out.
Just the sort of thinking that kept my PowerMac G3 in service way too flippin' long.
