Apple Has Switched To Intel. Now What?

A week has passed since WWDC, where Steve Jobs announced that Apple will start using Intel processors starting from 2006.

The topic has caused a lot of commotion on the Internet, everybody speculating on the new perspectives brought by the switch. All this media frenzy also points out just how much is expected of Apple.

In an industry where Microsoft has forgotten to innovate, all eyes turn to Apple and Mac OS X for those inventions that will make the IT machinery going.

Perhaps Apple switching to Intel is not very relevant considering that Macs with their slim market share are far from having a real power on the market, but one thing is certain: it is time that visionaries like Steve Jobs to make another evolutional breakthrough.

Will Macs run better with Intel? Will Mac OS X be ported for PCs? How will the Mac application developers react? How will Microsoft respond to this migration? All these questions will be answered in 2007, when, according to Steve Jobs's statements, Intel would have finished to "inseminate" all that's Apple: from notebooks to Power PCs.

But last week's most important conclusion is not related to technology, but to the fact that IT is the same fascinating industry where visionaries and men of courage have the power to change the world. The rest are details!
