Mac or PC... is there any difference?

Apple recently announced it was switching Macs from PowerPC processors to Pentiums. As a long-time Mac lover, I found the news disappointing, if inevitable. I thought Apple were supposed to think different. Perhaps too different for IBM, which had its eyes fixed on developing PowerPC as a gaming chip for PS3 and Xbox 360.

And now, to prove that the only difference between Macs and PCs is the position of the menubar, there are copies of MacOS for Intel circulating on Bittorrent. They run on any PC, apparently. Wired have got the lowdown over here.

The good news: cheap Mac clones. The bad news… remember Mac clones?
