And that's really too bad. If Apple really wants people to switch, the market they need to comunicate with are generally people who have used Windows and Intel exclusively and who think that Macs are an entirely non-compatible, niche only machine. Switching to Intel gives them a great opportunity to demonstrate to people the fallacy of thier thinking. As long as they can get people to understand that the new Macs are very compatible with Windows users, they can afford to let people still think that the old ones weren't.

I can hear it now:

"Boy I'm glad Apple finally makes computers that are compatible with the rest of the world. I just might buy one and get away from Windows."

As ignorant as that statement may be, it would still be a huge victory for Apple if they could get the majority of the Windows world to even utter the first sentence of it.
