FYI:

1 Will Macs switching to Intel processors mean viruses will be coming to Mac?
2 Are my Power-based Macs all obsolete and useless now?
3 Huh? Universal binaries?
4 Can I copy apps from Mac OS X PPC to Mac OS X Intel and vice versa, and will they run on either machine?
5 What about my older PPC apps? What if they're not recompiled for new Intel Macs?
6 Is this going to be a huge, painful transition?
7 Speaking of which, what are they going to call the PowerMacs and PowerBooks now that we're moving from Power chips?
8 Will new Macs require the "lawn mower" fans that PCs use?
9 Will Macs continue to use Open Firmware?
10 Will I be able to run Mac OS X on my Dell?
11 Will I be able to run Windows/Linux/other x86 OS on my Intel Mac?
12 Will it make Windows to Mac ports easier? Will it make games faster?
13 Will we be forced to re-buy software if we want to run x86 native? Will we be forced to run the app in emulation mode? What if the app is G4-G5 only?
14 Why is Apple switching?
15 Will this really be a seamless transition?
16 Will there be an "Intel Inside" sticker on future Macs?
