    OS company would merg with a CPU maker

    Apple is a HARDWARE company. They never were able to make software. In fact, after two failed attempts at writing an operating system, they had to acquire technology from NeXT, CMU, and BSD to scrape something together.

    Seriously, intel and apple are i would say both the big #2's in the computing world. I really hope they end up killing each other off. Id rather see amd vs powerpc and linux vs windows.
    id buy the popping corn for that!
