Don't Intel own or have manufacturing rights to Alpha and ARM from their 
kissing and making up with Digital? There was a rumour at the time that 
they had actually negotiated the deal to get hold of some technology 
patents for bespoke chip manufacture rather than just to kill off the 
competition.

Apple have already moved from Motorola to PowerPC architecture though. 
They must have made the job easier next time by basing Darwin on BSD.

The burning question in my mind though is whether Ade will move to OS X 
when it's available on 'non-proprietry Intel' hardware.
