The response in light of the change from the developers has been quite positive. What's the problem?
Just to add to your point Manny

I would guess that most of the developers were AWARE this might happen eventually, and were prepared for it. It's been a rumor for quite some time. I would imagine most of them probably applaud apple for making it so nice.

I don't think it's the current chips or idea's that Apple are worried about in this situation, as we all saw, X was running pretty smokin' in them tests. Imagine what new architectures might arise for so many things. Intel is far beyond just the CPU aspect. I for one, am ALL for it.

No, this was a complete shock to most people here. I haven't talked to anyone who prepared for this. I think most attendees blew off the rumours.

However, it is true that Apple is providing a lot of support and has done a fantastic job on Rosetta. The performance on the demo machines is fantastic.

Still very weird to see a Pentium in a G5 case...

Let's put this silliness to bed right now. Jobs said that there will be "MacIntel" machines available *before* the next WWDC.

Are we looking at 64bit or 32bit processors?
Dual or single processor?

I watched the Keynote. He pretty much said exactly that.

Question Why assume x86?

Exactly, Derrick. I think x86 is a huge assumption, and most likely incorrect. My look into the crystal ball sees an Intel-made, Apple proprietary chip. No hacking to Windows. No loss of hardware sales. I think we'll look back at this as being similar to Apple's jump from Motorola to IBM. Well, hopefully more successful in the long term.

The $999 Developer "transition" kit includes a Pentium 4.
