War is Peace, Freedom is Slavery, Mac is Intel Processors

So, in the famous 1984 ad… Big Brother was supposed to be IBM, right? But We know IBM has been making PowerPC processors for a while now, so why does the news that Apple is going to transition to Pentium4-D chips seem so weird? Coupled with the fact that basically the main buyer of PowerPC chips after this transition looks like it’s going to be Microsoft in the Xbox 360?

In Summary: Microsoft now runs on Mac hardware, Macs now run on Intel Hardware, Up is Down, Black is White, Bad is Good.
