Why Intel 575
I suppose it's just a coincidence that Apple has shipped systems exclusively with post-NetBurst chips, even in cases where this added expense or delayed product shipment?

The issue is clouded somewhat by the fact that some Mac users didn't take a very close look at Intel's new chips until after Apple made their announcement.

(I'm thinking in particular here of the uproar when Apple decided to charge for .Mac; people literally claimed they'd leave the platform.)
