Dvorak may have triped over something but his continued ignorance should give investors pause. The "spin" of a clandestine alliance with an NT "kernal" and MS dictating terms for "clones" is pure junk! Apple is porting the MacOS to Rhapsody's Mach 3.0 kernal. This permits easy ports to other hardware...such as Intel. But it also allows them to port it to Digital's, including StrongARM's new 300 mhz chips for portable NCs. Sure, having OSes running on Intel boxes would give added credibility in the WinTel world. But abandoning the PowerPC architecture which will outperform Intel boxes for the next 2 - 3 years is crazy! Will Merced be a success? Rhapsody will be ported to it and Apple may well contract for branded servers using Intel processors as a "wedge" product for IS departments. A "secret" aliance with Microsoft is pure "Soap Opera Speculation"!
