It's cold here in hell

The big news of today occured at 10.28am at the WWDC in San Francisco when Apple's announced that Macs will start using Intel CPUs in 2006 (don't miss Steve's interview on CNBC afterward). Microsoft and Adobe were quick to declare support. MacNN have live coverage of the WWDC.

Comment: yet again the rumours are proved true. Strangely enough no lawsuit this time ... could it be that suing a public company like CNet is less appealing than suing a minnow like ThinkSecret?

Update: I was reading more reactions to this news over at TUAW, where reader Michael Ströck points out that the BIG news here is that Macs in 2006/2007 will be able to run Windows natively! Now that would be, to paraphrase Steve Jobs, "insanely great" - imagine all the elegance and security of OS X with the ability to run Windows programs when necessary ... at full speed.
