Don't worry, Apple will be around for a VERY long time.

Pantso:
NIICE ARTICLE! By the way, there are some disturbing rumours that Apple will turn to Intel and x86 chips some time in the near (?) or distant future!   :confused:  Is it true or just rumours?

Rumors...switching to x86 would be hardware quality suicide for Apple.

I definitely agree to that, that's why I was a bit disturbed to hear those rumors.

That's because Apple makes all its money by locking people into a specific hardware platform if they want to run their OS.  These arguments about how the quality of the hardware would be ruined are bogus.  My PC has excellent hardware and I couldn't ask for better reliability.  Besides, if people want to buy OS X from Apple and put it on third party machines, so what, if they have trouble then they can't expect Apple to help them, can they?  Not everyone is a computer idiot who needs Apple to build computers that "just work" for them.  The past 3 computers I've owned I built myself, and until Apple allows me to do this then I can't see myself buying anything from them.
