Dave:

This is silly.  Apple is in trouble over the longterm -- as is  
Intel.  The classic PC isn't the at the center of the new technology  
infrastructure and these are still basically PC vendors.

Servers and portable devices are far more important in the future and  
Intel has little sway in this new world.  Intel's bet on the Itanium  
failed and they are 2+ years behind AMD in x86 engineering.  Apple  
failed to understand how important notebooks would become and doesn't  
have the money to finance mobile processors.

Meanwhile, Microsoft has figured all this out and is way ahead of  
both Apple and Intel in taking advantage of the fundamental  
technology shifts now underway.

Mr. Cringely is a "PC journalist" who is in serious need of an  
update . . .

Best,
