<Why not AMD/Apple? Not talking about an acquisition, but why should Apple continue to use the underperforming PowerPC chip, which neither IBM nor Motorola really want to continue to improve. Instead, Apple should redesign the Apple OS for the K7 and (future) K8. Also, with a little more work, this would allow them to sell the Apple OS for generic x86 machines (i.e., non-Apple motherboards with non-Apple BIOS)> Agree. Apple is trapped in a competition-free architecture and is bound to fall farther behind in performance. Kap
