Can you spell/smell Microsoft Linux? Cause I can. :)

Apple is as good as dead if they actually carry this out.

This will have zero impact. Most consumers will not care at all. For me, if I need to build something for x86, ssh to a build server works fine. Heck I have an Intel Mac now and do not build locally. Submit to Jenkins and let the build system sort it for me in parallel. I moved to a MacBook because locally the weight / size matters more than anything else. Hacker news is not the tigers Apple market.
