I'm still picking my jaw up off the floor, but in case you hadn't been 
paying attention to the rumor mill over the weekend, the press has been 
buzzing about an Apple/Intel deal since friday, and amazingly it's 
true. The "Marklar" rumors about x86 builds were true and now Macs will 
transition to Intel by '07.

The good news here is they're making Xcode do much of the heavy lifting 
here, so a developer won't need to target a particular processor (in 
theory).

I'm still in shock and am concerned as to what this will do to existing 
markets in the mean time. We'll see.
