I mostly agree, especially about Microsoft and Dell.
However, I really don't agree with the Apple opinion.
Apple has just sold all it's customers, and more importantly, the rest of the world, down the river.
By this I mean the real reason they switched to Intel. Their greed to control the music downloads market has led them to switch to Intel for one reason, and one reason only. DRM. They will jump fully on the TCPM initiative, lock users out of their own computers, and remove the last impediment to this Orwellian nightmare taking place. If you don't believe me, look at what Apple has just done. They've closed sourced the Intel port kernel, but not the PPC version.
Given that the OS and Kernel are a key part of the TCPM system, it makes sense.
I only hope that the public will realize what Apple has done and revolt. Don't buy the Intel Mac's. Don't use DRM locked products. e-mail Apple and complain.
