Apple to use stock Intel chipsets

[The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)] Add that statement to the fact that Steve Jobs said during the announcement that his guys have been running OSX on Intel machines for five years, and I've got to wonder whether Apple will bring the first Mactel device sooner rather than later.

[Tuaw.com] The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW): One of the strong advantages that Apple has is that they control the hardware -- giving up this control means their OS would have to adapt to varying third-party engineering and driver writing skills. The risk in this is if a third party builds a substandard component, the end user doesn't see that, they see that their Mac is broken -- and blame it on Apple.

[Shapeofdays.com] The Shape of Days: Mac OS X on Intel: Try before you buy?: Given Apples experiences with software piracy, particularly the rampant software piracy that spread developer builds of Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger all over the Internet this past spring, Apples management from the top down knows full well that this developer preview will be in the hands of every kid with a cable modem within days of its release. Most of them will be able to install it on their own computers and run it and the full suite of iLife 05 applications at full speed, and run most existing Mac software in translation.
