Hold up, before the bashing begins. This is article is very suspect as it's a year late and there is no otherwise confirmed proof (e.g.: Statement directly from Dobberpuhl). That being said, Apple -- or any company -- would be foolish not to look for the best deal for their product line. I can't imagine PA Semi being as a good longterm choice as Apple was changing architecture because of IBM's inability and lack of desire to furthur the devlopment of the PPC. Intel probably gave them the best deal and the most assurances.
