Apple using Intel the end of the world?

A lot of virtual ink has been spilled this weekend writing about Apple's rumored switch to Intel for all their processor needs (or at least for something... no one really knows if this is true or not. Well, no one other than his Steveness and a few other key execs I would imagine).

If the rumor is more than just a rumor and turns out to be true does that mean the end of Mac life as we know it? In a word, no.

Notice this announcement is supposed to come at WWDC, Apple's developers conference. Developers are the group that will be most affected by such a switch. I don't really care if my Powerbook is powered by a PowerPC, a Xeon, or a hamster, as long as I can surf the web and share my thoughts with you good folks, I am happy.

So, everyone, take a deep breath. Steve will make it all clear tomorrow, and then we can start panicking (all over again) about what it means for the platform and for Apple.

Anyway, the real issue here is that if Apple does go with Intel are they going to slap an 'Intel Inside' sticker on all Macs? I sure hope not, that would ruin the lines of my Powerbook.
