I think you couldn't be further from the truth in terms of Apple's decision. AMD's Turion and mobile Athlon chips are CRAP, they have poor battery performance and they can't come close to matching the Core Duos in performance. Perhaps you should realize that Apple is going for performance in a small form factor. AMD just doesn't have good mobile chips to do that. For the PowerMac replacement, yes, AMD would be a great choice, but with Conroe and Woodcrest coming soon, I think we'll begin to see Apple's choice with Intel was a good one.
