SAN FRANCISCO, California (AP) -- Apple Computer is confirming that it is shifting to chips made by Intel for its Macintosh lines.

The announcement to drop chips made by I-B-M and Freescale Semiconductor comes from Apple's developer conference in San Francisco. The company says that all of its new Macs will be using Intel microprocessors by the end of 2007.

The decision means that Apple will be relying on the same kinds of chips used in systems that run Microsoft Windows. Analysts say the move risks alienating Apple's historically loyal users. Software now built for Macs will have to be rewritten and then may not work on older Apple machines.

By winning the business, Intel tightens its dominance of the PC processor business, where it now has an 80 percent market share.

If it's true that all Mac software will be re-written, what fucking point is there using a Mac?
