I remember the whole RISC/CISC debate of a decade or so ago, and I think Mac is just kinda coming around to the notion that they did at least one thing wrong back then. I think ultimately it is a great idea. Well, barring the likelyhood that Cupertino will probably work some proprietary voodoo to keep their closed business model tight, which burns the ass offa people like me, knowing that Tiger is built on BSD, an open source project.

Sorry to see that Apple will not allow clones, but you should see a direct impact on Apple portables—laptops, possibly tablets, and potentially cheaper Mac Minis. I find it midly entertaining.
