Same here. <br><br>I always considered Macs a great option when it comes to the personal computer...for someone else (at least after the OS X debut; I hated using the old Mac OS's). But then I got into Linux, and realized running on a PPC CPU does not limit you only to OS X. Still, compatibility should be significantly improved now that efforts can be focused, rather than adapting kernels and drivers to the different architecture. <br>
<br>To be honest, I think the best part of the Intel-Mac switch is the OSX86 project, rather than the ability to run X86 OS's on a Mac. If it gets far enough, I'd consider installing OS X on machines where I'd otherwise be forced to choose Linux or Windows. <br>

</div>For me Macs got a lot more attractive when they went to Intel chips.<br>
It's nice having the option of running MacOS, Linux, *or* Windows.<br>
