My point is that apple does not control the hardware--Intel does.

Intel will control the CPU. A huge advantage/difference for me using Windows vs. OS X is the integration of OS and hardware on the Mac. Apple still controls the hardware. Sitting here typing on my 20" iMac, yes IBM made the CPU but the design (a huge part of what makes a Mac a Mac) and the technologies used are decided by Apple. In two years I could easily be typing on a similarly designed iMac running a Intel Pentium somethin'-or-other. It's still designed and manufactures under the control of Apple.
