nalysts 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.

That's exactly why this is a good thing... there is a huge misunderstanding on the difference between PC/Mac clock speeds... if they are both running on the same processors and have comparable speeds then the argument is gone.
