Re:This is Apple's chance!

On: Intel Announces New, Slower, Chip

Apple really succeeds with their laptops. That is not the problem. Desktop performance is where the porting to x86 would be (arguably) usefull. Apple would still make the hardware, it just would have a different processor. They are not about to allow clones again. The machine still would need an Apple ROM to boot. And Apple will never release a two button mouse, as for the uninitiated, they are too confusing.
