I've seen Apple reluctantly discard their proprietary hardware piece by piece, to the point where Apples were pretty much just PCs with a different processor and OS. It's good to see that they've finally made it. Also funny to see how all of a sudden the benchmarks sort of point the other direction...
wrt their transition they've done very well, and clearly thought about many things. With this MacBook 1.83 I can use (hate to but need to) ms office X through LaTeX, and the Rosetta slowdowns with PPC apps aren't bad at all. No hardware problems, no heat problems since I told Energy Saver to be stingy, and the entire system seems to be very coherent. If I didn't know that an Intel chip were inside, I probably would have just thought that it was somehow a dual-chip PPC system. Very nicely done by Apple.
