Wow I had no idea, now a lot of things make more sense to me about why Apple is going the route they are. I honestly wish them nothing but success. Part of me hopes they license their own chips down the line. The Intel monopoly over desktop systems needs to end.

Not under current market.

Apple got as big as it is by vertically integrating everything and creating walled gardens.
