There are stocks in certain places, but I have seen Apple sales folks really, really work to get customers moved to Intel. Which is an entirely new code base, requires qualification of a large number of deployed applications (essentially doubling the deployment work load, since apps have to be qualified and meet acceptance criteria on two platforms). Not to mention the work of maintaining parallel load sets (or system images) with identical user experiences on two different platforms (with no tools to ease that work flow). Then there's the idea that this came earlier than Apple originally projected.. catching some customers off balance. (Developers, too, I'm sure). This email sent to site_archiver@lists.apple.com
