For saome, maybe. To me, not really. It's not the CPU that floats my boat, it's the OS that I prefer.
I remember some time, about 8 years ago, when Jobs held a huge conference (annual Apple convention?) to announce that Apple had secured an additional $100 million in financing.
I watched (on TV, live) as Jobs gestured to a large projection screen. When Bill Gates smiling face was broadcast onto that 40' screen, I SWEAR I could hear gasps, then gentle sobbing ;)
