[1:55pm] MacRumors: *sorry about technical difficulties before - things seem sorted out now
[1:55pm] MacRumors: went out of way to give steve a big hug when crossing stage
[1:56pm] MacRumors: Catch up - Moving to Intel processors from PowerPC.  Why the transition - want the best computers for end users and we haven't been able to deliver what we wanted.  PPC products still to come, future roadmap 2006 and beyond - intel roadmap is exceptional
[1:56pm] MacRumors: try and explain how we got here today
[1:56pm] MacRumors: Catch up - transition isn't going to be overnight, this time next year plan is to ship macs with intel processors, complete transition by end of 2006.

[1:56pm] MacRumors: Intel founded in 1968 by coinventor of integrated circuit
[1:56pm] MacRumors: invented first microprocessor
[1:57pm] MacRumors: picture of him and steve having dinner together long time ago
[1:57pm] MacRumors: Catch up - two major challenges - making OS X think on intel procs.  Every release of OS has been compiled for intel x86 for the last 5 years - cross platform by design.  All demos up to this point have been done on an intel proc.
[1:57pm] MacRumors: connections of intel/apple happened about the same time
[1:57pm] MacRumors: didn't quite work out the way Intel had hoped
[1:58pm] MacRumors: microprocessor business kept humming along for quite some time
[1:58pm] MacRumors: 1993 - 2 events happend
[1:58pm] MacRumors: switch to 604, and introduction of the Pentium
[1:58pm] MacRumors: Catch up - not done yet, will put in dev hands soon.  How to make it work with your apps - separate code, xcode will compile for all, cocoa with minor tweeks and a recompile will work without a hitch - can be ready in a few days.  Carbon will still take a few weeks to recompile but xcode makes things faster.  Xcode 2.1 released, builds universal
[1:58pm] MacRumors: binary (one binary works on both PPC and intel)
[1:58pm] MacRumors: showing commercial from 1993
[1:59pm] MacRumors: toasting the pentium chip commercial
[1:59pm] MacRumors: G3
[1:59pm] MacRumors: "burn baby burn"
[1:59pm] MacRumors: not so subtle message that the pentium needed to run cooler
[2:00pm] MacRumors: so happy the world's most innovative computer company and world's most innovative chip company have finally teamed up
[2:00pm] MacRumors: Catch up - not every app will be easy to convert, so translate PowerPC code inline into tel - dynamic binary translator.  Photoshop plugins for PPC binary translate without a hitch.  Developer transition kit - 3.64Ghz P4, for select and premier developers only $999.
[2:01pm] MacRumors: brings together skills and opportunities of two great companies

[2:05pm] MacRumors: keynote over

Mixed emotions.  I don't know how to feel.  I see no incentive to go Intel -- at all.
