Often Apple has not been able to ship as much product as customers  
demanded only because IBM/Motorola could not ship enough CPUs. All  
the talk of "Apple has been running MacOS X on Intel for the past 5  
years" sounds a lot like a sword to threaten IBM/Motorola. As with  
any weapon its worthless if one isn't willing to use it. This one got  
used on Monday.
