Mac OSX, from Power PC to Intel: Smart move?

[emanresu00]

What will Intel macs bring about? More good or bad for Apple?

Intel Macs could offer:

Macs that run OSX, Windows and even Linux without emulation software.

Wintel PCs that also run Mac OSX and software/hardware licensing issues for Apple

Big part of the games and other PC software libraries with Mac OSX compatibility

Macs vulnerable to PC viruses

Nearly all computers run one OS. Nearly all security issues are OS level or higher. That won't change. Neither has PPC. Intel is. Granted, behind AMD, but moving and in the right direction.

Personally, we're a little concerned by this. It could mean the demise of the refurbed mac market. Saying that, it could in the long run mean serious competition with windows/ microsoft- imagine buying a pc and loading os x onto it?
