Another Theory on Apple's Move To Intel

Posted by Zonk on from the got-to-love-theories dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Why did Apple really switch to Intel? Larry Loeb thinks that it has everything to do with the Trusted Computing Group's TNC (Trusted Network Connect)." From the article: "The Trusted Computer Group is a multivendor association that grew out of Microsoft's pre-emptive Trusted Computing Platform effort. Microsoft realized it couldn't force this down the manufacturers' throats, so it formed the TCG to give it the veneer of respectability and 'open standards.'"

    Correct. Apple is a business and it's trying desperating to hold on to it's trendiness as iPod fever dies off.

    Not that I have anything against Apple, I'm typing this on a Powerbook.
