MacNewsWorld Talkback

In Round One of MacNewsWorld's Mac Death Match column, Mac Observer editor-in-chief Bryan Chaffin and industry analyst Rob Enderle took on the perennial PowerPC vs. Intel debate. Enderle asserted that Apple must migrate the Mac OS from the PowerPC chip to Intel's x86 platform to survive in a Linux-Longhorn world, while Chaffin contended that advocating a move to Intel demonstrates a fundamental lack of understanding of Apple's business model, as well as a lack of appreciation of the PowerPC's advantages.
