Yep, I agree.

The language of the article is a bit sensational, but Apple fans have been fed up with Mototola's crap for years. This sort of thing has never been a secret.

Thank god Apple is rumerd to be looking for another chip manufacturer. I hope it's true.

EDIT:

Reading thrugh the headlines on this site strikes me that the whole thing is a bit sensational! Every title to an article reads like something out of a tabloid. Wierd.

I saw a rumour article on the net somewhere claiming that Apple is going to port OSX over to run on the AMD Hammer architecture and if all goes well they will use the 64-bit architecture in future OS releases. If this happens I don't know if it will work with the Intel Itanium or not(It really wouldn't matter if it did or not cause the Itanium is way too expensive for the home consumer).  Heck, if I can dig up that article I'll post it for ya'll to read.

Scuse me, but the PowerPC class of microprocessors are already 64-bit.

Zombie9920:
No they aren't. They are 32bit. G4's can process 128bit chunks of data when Altivec is being used, under normal circumstances they are 32 bit.
