Yeah, blame @#$_%& Motorola! Ass sphincters.
*All* they had to do was produce in volume to schedule. They could
pretty much charge what they liked; Apple would buy every chip, and
Apple were never the only ones wanting them. They blew it with first
the 68K and then the PPC. Apple had built OS X on top of NextStep,
which of course already ran on Intel, ab initio; obviously they were
not going to forget to keep that port viable, just in case, and indeed
the open-source GnuStep and darwin projects kept that ticking over
nicely for them. When "in case" came to the crunch, it was piss-easy
for Apple to change to x86 (though their dynamic and transparent code
translator for legacy apps was a really awesome feat, so flawless from
the first day that they made it look easy).
Fanboy? Moi? :-)
