Yeah... I find it a bit sad, as x86 is an outdated and baroque
architecture compared to PPC, but since IBM don't seem to be able to
roll out low-consumption G5s (focusing as they are on building chips
for the Xbox 360 and PS3), well, so be it.
At least Apple seem to be quite successful at making the
transition process as painless as possible, given how fast universal
binaries of most apps I'm using have appeared.
