If Apple has licensed QuickTransit for an Intel-powered Mac, all current applications should just work, no user or developer intervention required.

If this is indeed true, then the world will be turned upside down on Monday.

Well, it appears half true. Apple is making an Intel powered mac. The QuickTransit Tangent seems a figment of this reporter's imaginination though... at least without anything to substaniate it.

o Since no OS will be married to any hardware platform, all bets are off.

I think this decision is a lot less important then most people are making it out to be. Even if I had QuickTransit it doesn't mean my commodity PC will instantly run OSX. OSX depends on lots of particular hardware being present. If I'm going to make computers that have all the right hardware, along with a QuickTransit chip... Well why don't I just go ahead and do that right now with a PowerPC chip? I think there is some sort of legal reason why people don't make cheap OSX compatible computers, and I don't think its likely to change. Even if Apple goes to Intel procs in its computers this does not mean I'll be able to run OSX on non-apple hardware. From a consumer perspective, nothing has changed.
