It is not a rumor anymore. Apple has finally announced that it will be switching to Intel processors starting in 2006.
Now, while I am not in a position to assess the real implications of this strategic move for Mac-based Bible software, I do want you to notice a few of the responses I have come across. The first comes from a secular Mac developer. The second is from Brandon Staggs' blog, who, let's remember, is currently developing a Mac version of SwordSearcher. Finally, I found Joe Weaks' words on the matter quite interesting (as usual).
Time will tell what happens next, but Intel-based Macs are bound to change quite a few things in the coming couple of years or so. God willing, we'll be here to tell you about it.
