Could you elaborate? I watche the keynote and didn't hear a mention of Apple, except of course the "Let's get it started" music Intel stole from Apple's former keynotes.

somewhere in here it says "Otellini showed an Apple machine running Internet applications as well as a Blackberry. This is probably a presage of things to come. Intel is now almost officially Microsoft atheistic."

If Apple's just keeping their stuff secret to make a splash at MacWorld SF it seems like a rather enormous mistake. (Trade a national, industry-wide stage for talking to a bunch of enthusiasts?)
nice article. we love the mac but i think in our own ways we know what a nightmare or heaven(if you are in the right 'zone') ??? it can be to actually work with/for apple. when i was involved in organising tech conferences in the sf bay area (circa 2000-2001) (oracle, cisco, peoplesoft -- yes, i was just one of the peons just trying to stay out of trouble) one of the guys that had worked some apple conferences said iSteve would walk around a few days before the conference, and ask each person, "what do you do here?"... if they couldn't answer well within a few seconds, apparently iSteve would fire them.
......mel -- i just happened to get to this thread before you after reading your inquirer link
"....The biggest problem it has is probably with one of the biggest of its partners, Microsoft, because it was clear to us at the theatre here today that add a remote control or not, Intel really is OS agnostic and Microsoft atheistic ? a real breakthrough for the former WinTEL alliance. Microsoft should start worrying"

I didn't see anything Apple either, but the stream on Intel's web site had a part deleted from the speech. I doubt it was Apple though - all those people who saw it would have seen it and would be talking about it now.
"Intel estimates that up to 30 million Centrino notebook computers shipped during the last 12 months. So it is a good omen, Otellini estimates, that twice as many Centrino Duo products will be introduced this year, than Centrino products during its initial run. It's worth noting that Otellini's demonstration of streaming content on a Centrino Duo featured Apple's iTunes, not a Microsoft product."
somebody at theInquirer.net needs a swift kick up the ass if TGDaily is reporting the situation more correctly.
so
1. was it just Apple iTunes being demoed?
2. was it just playing an mp3 or a video?
3. was it running on Windows XP pro?
4. why are people trying to pitch this as "Intel Hates Microsoft"?
5. why am i obsessed about this? could it be because of iSteve's keynote next Monday where he might reveal the first ever Intel Macs?

This was the part of the speech where he was demonstrating how much faster Core Duo is to the old chips. Two laptops were set up side by side. There was a video playing in a window, iTunes open - I don't believe iTunes was playing the video. If I recall correctly, he then started ripping a CD using iTunes, then started downloading pictures from a camera. I think he pushed another button in there somewhere, but I forget what process it launched.
Anyway, both laptops appeared to be running Windows. I'd assume they were running as identical as possible versions of Windows to give the comparison any credibility.
It was a VERY small nod to Apple, but for the overly analytical, it was a use of an Apple product instead of an MS one.
As has been pointed out, Intel (AFAIK) NEVER used the word "Microsoft" in the introduction of Core Duo or Viiv. That absence is pretty glaring, and points squarely to Apple introducing products using the technologies at MacWorld.

thank you. this is the most sensible information yet on this issue.
this would mean theInquirer wording* "Otellini showed an Apple machine running Internet applications as well as a Blackberry." is total and utter bollocks. An Apple machine? Internet application[s]???

I caught the stream a few minutes in, and it's a bit hard to see everything going on through a little bit of streamed video, but if an Apple product had been shown or mentioned I'm sure we'd have heard a LOT more about it by now. Engadget did a pretty good live coverage of the keynote and didn't mention any sign of Apple hardware. So I'd go with bollocks.
You need to understand your priorities better! You can have a date any day of the year.
There are only a few Stevenotes!
yeah but there will just be panic on the eve - it's kinda nice to come back in after the announcement. Also I'm house-sitting and they haven't got broadband so it would be crap being in anyway!
I've got less geeky recently - i actually went to the pub with friends rather than sit in for the nano announcement!

Ah, you stole my thunder here in this one. I couldn't remember this thread.
If you read the last paragraph, it sounds better.
