I was over it from day 1. IBM clearly dropped the ball - 2 years after the 3GHz forecast and still no end in sight.
What bummed me out was that this news took up almost the complete keynote (made up for by the aside that it'll be possible to add labelled chapter markers to podcasts). I wanted
some kind of product announcement (e.g. as long as they're going Intel, they might as well have announced that they were making a four button mouse too
).
It's ridiculous how this has brought all the haters out of the woodwork.
Now, if Apple had actually announced that they were
dropping OS X and shipping all future Macs with Windows installed, I'd be throwing furniture around the room...
