Either it didn't matter or you weren't around when Apple switched from Motorola to IBM...
The CPU won't matter so much as the OS and applications.
I've got: wireless iBook and ThinkPad, dual G5, Mini -- all using the no-brainer Bonjour to share Internet connection, printers and files.
Apple has made working in a PC-centric world bearable... and I don't imagine that will change anytime soon... Microsoft buys companies or puts them out of business... no innovation there. Apple innovates, which is why I will continue to buy and use their products, partially to support innovation which I benefit from.
