Why would it be the best thing Apple's done in ages? Look at what the article is saying.

Apple is motivated by the iPod ($249-$599) to sell a $499 iMac? I don't think so. iPod owners are willing to spend more on a machine. Potential switchers might get the wrong impression when they use a Mac with yesterday's specs. Bargain hunters are going to keep looking at $499 3 GHz Dells. iPod owners are not bargain hunters. This doesn't make any sense to me...UNLESS margins on this thing are going to be super-duper.
