Apple's decision to switch from IBM to Intel as its microprocessor I thought Apple used Motorola to manufacture their chips.

And PowerPC's different object code made it almost impossible for cross-platform viruses and malware to propagate. Yikes... but that would only apply to executable files that access hardware directly, right? Wouldn't apply to viruses that rely on the Windows API, even if they shared the same processor platform with Apple. Right?

"Intel's Itanium effort collapsed in the face of AMD's 64-bit, x86-compatible Opteron."
IOW, Apple will eventually switch to AMD -- unless they get smart and dump Steve Jobs instead.
