Frank's Profile

You have to remember that not all Mac users are computer geeks. Some are like my wife, who is a college student. She did not want the hassle of all of the viruses/addware/spyware/malware etc that you get on Windows machines. It was too much work keeping it working. We decided on a Mac because it did not have the malware baggage that a Windows machine has. Bottom line is that the switch to Intel is a non issue. People are upset that Windows machines have the malware baggage and want OUT. They would want out if it was PPC or 68xxx or Intel or AMD. If Apple finds a way for currently Windows only software to run on an Intel Mac then you would get true apples to apples comparisons. Apple will not get out of the hardware business and become a software only company. A reason is the installed base of Macs. Another is that the company would not want to reduce the revenue total that they have. Another is that they sell hardware (macs,ipods) not software. Sort of a Sony wannabe without the movie studios. Yes he has Pixar but it is only cartoons.
